INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 kilo fava φάβα
- 1 large onion
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tbs salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Rinse the fava (split peas) with plenty of water.
- Put it in a saucepan and add hot water (halfway).
- Turn the heat up and bring to boil.
- While the split peas boil, some white foam will surface on the water. Remove the foam with a slotted spoon.
- When the fava softens a little (after 10 minutes), drain the water.
- Fill again halfway with hot water.
- Add the chopped onion and olive oil. Season well with salt.
- Lower the heat and stir frequently so it does not stick.
- Boil until all water is absorbed.
- Serve the fava with a drizzle of olive oil, a tablespoon of diced onion and fresh bread.
