INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of fava to 2 - 2 1/2 cups water approximately
1 1/2 small onion
extra olive oil
1/2 a lemon, salt

Wash the fava lentils well

Set to boil in a large non-stick cooking pot, (medium heat) adding enough water to create a thick paste.

Salt to taste

When the fava is cooked, remove from fire & allow to cool

Blend or mash the mixture well

Scoop the amount you want into a serving dish & place the remainder of the mix in the fridge to use later
