INGREDIENTS:
generous 2-3/4 cups dried fava beans 1-1/4 cups olive oil, plus extra to glaze 1 onion, quartered
1 tsp sugar juice of 1 lemon salt and ground black pepper
chopped fresh parsley, to garnish



1 Soak the beans overnight.
2 Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion for a few minutes. Add 2-1/2 cups water, or just enough water to cover the onions, and bring to a boil.
3 Drain the beans and add to the onions. Simmer for 10 minutes then add the sugar, lemon juice, and seasoning. Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes more, or until the beans are tender.
4 Puree the beans with a little of the cooking water by pressing them through a metal sieve with a wooden spoon, or use a blender or food processor, and place in an oiled 7-inch ring mold.
5 Chill for 2 hours. When chilled, place a serving plate over the mold, invert, and turn out the puree. Brush with a little olive oil and garnish with parsley.
