Hummus, Fava Bean Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs fava beans
1 head garlic, green
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sesame tahini

Preparation

Shell about three pounds of fava beans.
This should leave you with a couple of cups of actual beans.
Boil them for about twenty minutes in water and then rapidly cool with cold water.
Peel all the larger ones (anything bigger than about 1/2 inch in the longest dimension) by squeezing one end hard and popping the bean out of the skin.
Smaller ones can be left whole.
Puree in a blender with a head of green garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and sesame tahini.
Add salt to taste and serve with bread or crudites.
