Don't want any dramatic you-know-what! Seriously though, I'm going to have to try this recipe - it sounds really healthy and tasty. I’ll definitely be removing the skins from my favas!!!

Grazie grazie grazie. I'll keep my eye out for dried favas as I'd like to try this too. A kind of fava hummus kinda sorta? I mean I don't have tahini anyway.... And I love anything with roasted red peppers on top. Excellent info on the skins. Grazie grazie grazie.

It's one of those things that when you taste it you feel sure there's something else in there besides what there is. I eat it warm, usually with peppers. My bag of fave says: Fave secche decorticate. Now it is almost time for fresh ones here, but these are so different that you could eat them at the same meal and not know they were the same bean. Like split pea soup next to fresh green peas, yes? Anyway, you could make a lot and serve it every other day with different garnishes on top. If one had a microwave....? Do not be tempted to leave out the potato. Without it it turns into cement when it cools. Hmmm, it doesn’t remind me of hummus.

I know, I'm bragging 'cause I'm sooooo lucky. I've had the dried favas reconstituted and just cooked like regular beans. They do have an entirely different flavor. And thanks for the hint about the potato. I do have a microwave! I know, I’m bragging ’cause I’m sooooo lucky. I’ve had the dried favas reconstituted and just cooked like regular beans.

I don't know about those with skins, they might need it. I'll check somewhere. No, they don’t if they are skinless. I don’t know about those with skins, they might need it. I’ll check somewhere.

I\'ve been wanting to try those skinless ones anyway, so those are what I\'ll get. If I were to buy the other ones, I\'d definitely soak them the first time and then take things from there.
