Fava – Creamy Turkish Broad Bean Purée

Turkish steampunk recipes — classic dishes reimagined with storytelling and flavor.

Intro/Story

In the brass‑lined dining hall of a submarine, Fava gleams like golden paste. Puréed broad beans, enriched with olive oil and lemon, offer explorers a smooth, nourishing meze. Surrounded by copper pipes and iron rivets, this dish embodies rustic simplicity in the age of steam.

Fava is a traditional Turkish meze made from puréed broad beans, olive oil, and lemon juice. Smooth and creamy, it is often served chilled with onions or dill. Rich in protein and fiber, Fava is both healthy and satisfying, making it a staple of Turkish appetizer spreads.
