About this recipe
Bissara is a beloved Moroccan comfort dish, traditionally eaten for breakfast on cold mornings. This plant-based soup is rich in protein and fiber, keeping you full and energized for hours.
Method
- 1
Rinse the split fava beans well and drain.
- 2
Add the beans, water and whole garlic cloves to a large pot and bring to a boil.
- 3
Lower the heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes, skimming off any foam, until the beans fall apart.
- 4
Stir in the cumin, paprika and salt.
- 5
Blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy.
- 6
Thin with a little hot water until you reach a pourable consistency.
- 7
Ladle into bowls and serve drizzled with olive oil, a pinch of cayenne and lemon wedges.
Tips
- Soak the fava beans overnight for faster cooking and an even creamier texture.
- Adjust the thickness to taste — thicker as a dip, thinner as a soup.
- A generous squeeze of fresh lemon balances the earthy fava flavour.
