Hazırlanışı

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Do not salt the water which can toughen the beans. Cook the beans for 3 to 5 minutes or until just tender, then drain and cool. To remove the skins, you can either cut a small slit with a sharp knife along the side and gently squeeze, or simply pinch a bit of the skin between your fingernails and pull. You should end up with approximately 2 pounds of the actual meat of the fava bean. In a food processor, place the beans, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and process slowly adding just enough chicken broth until you get the right consistency. I prefer my purée a bit thick as you can always loosen it later with a little oil or broth if needed. Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. Place your purée into airtight containers with lids. (I generally use 1/2 to 1 sized cup containers.) Freeze for up to 6 months, defrosting the puree as needed. The purée will also keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
