Fresh Fava Spread

This recipe is great if you're waiting for your fava beans to mature, which we were this past July.

2 c hulled fava beans (you can leave the white thin skin on)
2 t chopped rosemary
2 T lemon juice
1/4-1/2 c olive oil
salt, pepper
1 or 2 cloves garlic

Food process/blend all ingredients. Depending on the age of the fava beans, you may want to steam them 5-10 minutes, but we just left 'em raw. I think next year I'll be asking around at the farmer's market to see if anyone grows favas and if they'd let me buy some early.
