Ingredients

  • 2 cups fava beans, peeled

  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 10 grinds black pepper

Instructions

  • Purée the fava beans in a food processor fitted with a metal blade for 2 minutes to create a smooth paste. Scrape down the sides before adding the chives, green onions and lemon zest. Blitz for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides again. Then, with the motor running, pour in the olive oil and lemon juice and pulse until just combined. Season with the salt and pepper.
