BROAD BEAN PURE (Fava)

2 cups dried fava
3 cups water
3 cloves garlic (mashed)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
Olives and parsley to garnish
(A variation is with 1/2 cup of tahini instead of oil)

Soak dried fava overnight then boil in 3 cups of water until mushy. Place fava and all the rest of the ingredients in a blender (or mix well by hand) and pour into two deep platters. When set, cut into squares and serve with olives and parsley as garnish. (When tahini is used instead of olive oil this would be a variation of the "Hummus" which is made with chick peas, then it would also need paprika as a garnish).
