I love the recipe
I kept pretty much to recipe except I used lime as that is what I had, and added some coriander, cumin and smoked paprika but not as much of any as I normally use making chickpea (garbanzo) hummus. I cooked my dried beans in Instant Pot and they cooked very fast and became almost mush. I used a potato masher to break up the beans a bit more. Very easy, very nice, and a nice change from my usual hummus recipes. I will be sharing this with my Turkish Landlady. I think she will like it.
Very good recipe. I used a pestle after it was done cooking and smashed the beans up a bit not too much though and added a bit of Olive oil on top of each serving.
I’ve made this dish you can mash the beans with a fork or use an electric beater you can use additional ingredients such as tomatoes I used tomato sauce cause I didn’t have fresh tomatoes and cumin you can serve with pita and yogurt
Great recipe but made a few changes. I substituted garbanzos and a lime because it’s what I had available. I blended about half the bean mixture to give it a creamier texture like the picture. I thought it tasted a little bland so added a tsp of paprika and 2 tbs of chili powder. It was great loaded into a flour tortilla to serve as a wrap. Next time I think I would serve this with tomato and cucumber slices along with some feta crumbles for a complete meal. Also might add a pinch of cayenne for a kick.
This was a hit for the whole family. Very delicious.
Fantastic! I added about tsp of cumin, but made no other changes. Made a great lunch served on a whole wheat pita. Thanks for the recipe.
great, simple weeknight quickie. I added cumin and coriander. Also, I was out of lemon juice so I used white wine vinegar, tasted great!
I used a substitute for fava beans, lima beans. Basically, this is a hummus recipe, and I love hummus! This is very tasty!
This is great – I didn’t have a lemon and made it with lime juice instead, but it was still good. Just wish I’d had some parsley on hand.
