Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Add the water, yellow split peas, bay leaf, salt, cumin and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the yellow split peas have completely softened.
- Discard the bay leaf. Then, using an immersion blender (or see alternatives below), purée the mixture until smooth.
- Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until combined. Then taste the dip, and season with extra salt and/or lemon juice if needed. The fava will thicken considerably as it cools.
- Garnish with a pinch of smoked paprika and any other preferred toppings, then serve and enjoy! Leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days.
