Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Thoroughly rinse and drain the fava beans.
  2. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for a minute. Add fava beans, vegetable broth, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne. Cook three to five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed. Begin to mash the beans by hand or with a masher. You are looking for a consistency that is not solid but thick enough to be scooped up using bread. If it seems too thick, thin with additional broth or water.
  3. Mix remaining spices together and reserve.
  4. To serve, place Bissara into a shallow soup bowl or dessrt plate with a high lip. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mixed spices. Drizzle additional oil on top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  5. Serve warm or hot.
