Frequently Asked Questions About Dill fava bean purée
What is dill fava bean purée?
Dill fava bean purée is a chilled Turkish meze made by cooking dried fava beans until soft, then blending them with olive oil and dill. It is often allowed to set before serving, sometimes sliced and finished with lemon or more olive oil.
How do you make dill fava bean purée?
Cook dried fava beans until they break down easily, then blend or mash them with olive oil and seasoning. Stir in chopped dill, spread the mixture in a dish, and chill it until firm enough to serve.
Is dill fava bean purée made with dried or fresh fava beans?
Traditional dill fava bean purée is usually made with dried, split fava beans, which cook down into a smooth, sliceable mixture. Fresh fava beans can be used for a different-style purée, but its flavor and texture will not be quite the same.
How should you serve dill fava bean purée?
Serve dill fava bean purée chilled, with a drizzle of olive oil and a little lemon or fresh dill. It works as part of a meze spread with bread, olives, and other small dishes, or alongside a fish meal.
Why is my dill fava bean purée runny?
Dill fava bean purée is often runny because the beans were cooked with too much liquid or the mixture was not reduced enough. Simmer it until thick before chilling; cooling helps it set, but cannot fully correct a very watery purée.
Can you make dill fava bean purée without a blender?
Yes, you can make dill fava bean purée with a potato masher or by pressing the fully cooked beans through a sieve. The result may be less silky, so cook the beans until very soft and mash them while still warm.
Can dill fava bean purée be frozen?
Yes, dill fava bean purée can be frozen in an airtight container, though thawing may make it slightly watery or grainy. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir it well before serving; fresh dill can be added afterward for a brighter flavor.
How long does dill fava bean purée keep in the refrigerator?
Dill fava bean purée keeps for a few days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Covering it also prevents the surface from drying out and keeps it from absorbing other food odors.
What is the difference between dill fava bean purée and hummus?
Dill fava bean purée is made from fava beans and is commonly chilled until it can be served in slices. Hummus is made from chickpeas and typically gets its characteristic flavor from tahini, lemon, and garlic.

What is Dill fava bean purée?
Dill fava bean purée is a Turkish meze, especially associated with Aegean cooking. It is usually made by simmering dried fava beans until tender, then mashing or blending them with olive oil and dill. Once chilled, it firms up enough to serve in slices or spoon onto a plate.
Its smooth, creamy texture and earthy bean flavour are lifted by the fresh, herbal taste of dill. In Turkey it is commonly served as part of a spread of cold meze, often with lemon and bread; it also works alongside grilled vegetables or fish. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 5.6 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter serving, go easy on the oil added at the table.
