This recipe is a waste of time. The fava bean puree was not good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fava bean puree turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This fava bean puree was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This fava bean puree was delicious! I used dried fava beans and soaked them overnight before cooking them. The puree was smooth and creamy, and the flavor was nutty and earthy. I served it with some grilled pita bread and it was the perfect appetizer
