Fava Dip with Pita

This is the kind of Mediterranean snack you’ll make on repeat — fava beans and tahini, 15 minutes, big payoff. At 190 calories and 8g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 can Fava beans
• 2 tbsp Tahini
• 1/2 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Pita

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the fava beans under cold water.
2. Add them to a food processor with the tahini, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water.
3. Blend for 2 full minutes, scraping down the sides once. Fava needs longer than you{Q}d think to go silky, be patient.
4. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil until the dip is glossy.
5. Season boldly with salt and more lemon juice, then taste. Bland fava dip is a tragedy, it should taste bright and nutty.
6. Warm the pita in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, or in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side.
7. Swirl the dip into a serving bowl, make a small well on top with the back of a spoon, fill it with olive oil, and serve with the warm pita.
