Fava with caramelized onions & Traditional Legumes bites
We love all legumes but our favorite is Fava bean! So we cook Fava with Caramelized onions & accompany it with the delicious and nutritious Legume Bite.
What we will need:
- 250 gr. split peas
- 1 sliced onion
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. fresh thyme
- ½ sp. cumin
- 1 tbsp. turmeric
- 650 ml of water
- 3 onions
- 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar from red wine
- 3 tbsp. molasses or agave syrup
- Salt Pepper
- 100 gr. little Legum Bites
Execution:
- Saute the onion and garlic together with the thyme, turmeric & cumin in a saucepan with 1 tbsp. olive oil until soft.
- Add the fava beans and water, season with salt and pepper, and as soon as the ingredients get a boil, lower the heat and simmer with the lid closed for about 25 minutes until the fava beans are soft.
- With a hand mixer, mash the fava so that it gets a velvety and uniform texture.
- Cut the onions into slices and in a non-stick pan sauté them with the rest of the olive oil, adding salt, pepper & fresh thyme. Once the onions are soft, add the molasses and balsamic vinegar and leave them on low heat for about 20 minutes.
- Serve the fava with the caramelized onions together with Bites of Legumes “Ntourountous” & enjoy !!
