Boil the fava beans and onion until soft, leaving the water controlled.
Add the artichoke and cook for 5 more minutes; the beans should mash while the artichoke fibers stay lively.
Blend the mixture and add olive oil until glossy and pourable.
Pour the fava into a mold, chill, and serve sliced.
💡 Tip: Do not overblend the fava; the artichoke should keep a light texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cool with olive oil and dill.
