Wash the shelled fava beans in plenty of water and finely chop the dill.
Boil the beans in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender, then drain.
Blend the beans with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Stir half of the dill into the spread and loosen with a few spoonfuls of water if needed.
Sprinkle the remaining dill on top and serve the meze cold.
💡 Tip: Holding the fava beans briefly in ice water after boiling helps their color stay pale and fresh.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle dill over the top and serve cold.
