Cheesy fried fava beans

 Following this recipe of Becca Heyes. We ended up later making our Fachos recipe

  • 1/2 Tasse Fava Bohnen in Wasser über Nacht einweichen lassen, dann 30 Minuten kochen
  • Die gekochten Bohnen auf einem Ofenblech ausbreiten und mit etwas Olivenöl einreiben. Mit Salz und anderen Gewürzen bestreuen (z.B. Chili-Pulver). Für 20 Minuten bei 150C im Ofen rösten. 
  • Dann mit Käse bestreuen, und für weitere 15 Minuten im Ofen rösten.

Use vegan cheese: in the USA, the shredded Mexican blend from Trader Joe's works well. In Germany, Simply V Reibegenuss is nice

  • 1/2C fava beans - soak in water overnight, then boil for 30 min
  • Lay the beans in a layer in a pan and sprinkle olive oil, salt, and chili powder
  • Bake for 20 min at 150C
  • Put cheese on top and bake for another 15 min
Variation: fry the cooked fava beans in a pan with olive oil, salt, chili powder, and cheese until the cheese melts

    Loaded fava bean fries

     By Dieter 



    10t cooked Fava beans / gekochte Fava Bohnen
    4t olive oil / Olivenöl
    8t water / Wasser
    4t protein powder / Eiweisspulver
    4t flour / Mehl

    Mix all ingredients with a fork. This will create a compact dough similar, to churros dough (Brandteig). Rest the dough in a fridge for 30-60 mins. 

    Mix in 1t baking powder. Coat small oven pan with olive oil. Make fries from the dough (1 fork full = 1 fry, makes ~15 fries), roll them in the oil, and sprinkle with salt and paprika. Bake at 425C for ~30 mins until golden brown. You might want to turn them occasionally and add more olive oil if needed. 

    Serve with guacamole, tomatoes, and sour cream - or any other of your favourite toppings.


    Alle Zutaten mit einer Gabel vermischen. Es macht einen kompakten Teig, ähnlich dem Churros-Teig (Brandteig). Den Teig 30-60 Min. im Kühlschrank ruhen lassen.

    1t Backpulver untermischen. Eine kleine Ofenpfanne mit Olivenöl ausstreichen. Aus dem Teig Fritten formen (1 Gabel voll = 1 Fritte, ergibt ~15 Fritten), in dem Öl wälzen und mit Salz und Paprika bestreuen. Bei 425C ca. 30 Minuten lang backen, bis sie goldbraun sind. Gelegentlich wenden und bei Bedarf mehr Olivenöl hinzugeben. 

    Mit Guacamole, Tomaten und saurer Sahne servieren - oder mit einem anderen Lieblingsbelag.

    Chili-Lemon curry

    By Dieter

    2 medium sized cooked sweet potatoes
    1 small head of cauliflower 
    5T cooked fava beans
    Half a can of corn
    3 carrots 
    20cm of ginger 
    1 small jalapeño 
    1 Meyer lemon (alternatively mix lemon and orange juice)
    2T sesame seeds 
    2T smoky chile lime rub
    1T sugar
    3T toasted sesame oil 

    Cut the cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and carrots into pieces. Heat the toasted sesame oil in a large frying pan at medium heat. Add the cauliflower and roast it for a few minutes. Next add the sweet potatoes and the ginger and stir for a minute, before adding the remaining ingredients. Let it simmer for a little bit for all the flavors to combine. If you don't have the smoky chile lime rub, add chile flakes, smoked paprika powder, salt, and more lemon juice. 



    Lemongrass curry

    Based on the World Food Cafe cookbook


    4 stalks of lemongrass
    1 small onion
    1 clove of garlic
    fresh ginger (same amount as of onion)
    1 T coriander powder
    1 T ground chilies
    sunflower oil
    water

    tofu
    1 head of broccoli
    1 small courgette
    1 bell pepper

    1 stock cube
    tamari
    4 kafir lime leaves

    Cut the lemongrass, onion, garlic, and ginger into pieces. Add them into a blender, together with the coriander powder and chilies, and add a bit of oil and water to blend into a smooth paste.

    Fry the paste at medium heat in a large wok for about 5-10 minutes, stirring it to have it cook all through. In the meantime, cut the tofu and the vegetables into mouth-sized pieces. When the paste releases a nice smell, add the tofu and the vegetables, and cook the vegetables briefly until they start to become soft. Add the tamari and stock cube, while maybe adding a bit more water, to create a sauce with the paste, and throw in the cut-up lime leaves. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and serve over Basmati rice.


    Kaffir lime leaf curry

    By Dieter

    3 T sunflower oil / Sonnenblumenöl
    1 T toasted sesame or peanut oil / Gerostet Sesamöl oder Erdnussöl
    1 T coriander powder / Korianderpulver
    1 T salt / Salz
    1 piece of ginger (half the size of the tofu) / Ingwerwurzel (halbe Große vom Tofu)
    2 small chilis / kleine Chilischoten
    2 potatoes / Kartoffeln
    1 pack smoked tofu / geräucherter Tofu
    1 C peas / 1 Tasse Erbsen
    1/2 C ananas / halbe Tasse Ananas
    5 dried Kaffir lime leaves / 5 getrocknete Kaffir-Limettenblätter

    Wash the potatoes, cut into squares, and boil for ~10 minutes. Heat up the oil in a large pan and add the ginger, coriander powder, and salt. When the oil is hot, add the chilis, potatoes, tofu, peas, and pineapple. Stir through until everything is well covered in the oil and warm. Break the lime leaves into small pieces and stir under. Briefly let heat through so all the flavours can combine.

    Wasche die Kartoffeln, schneide sie in kleine Stücke, und koche sie für ca 10 Minuten. Erhitze das Öl  auf mittlerer Stufe in einer grossen Pfanne und gib den Ingwer, das Korianderpulver, und das Salz hinzu. Wenn das Öl heiss ist, gib die Chilis, Kartoffeln, Tofu, Erbsen, und Ananas hinzu. Rühre gut bis das Öl alles bedeckt und alle Zutaten gut warm sind. Zerbröckel die Limettenblätter in kleine Stücke und rühr sie unter. Alles kurz durcherhitzen so dass sich die Aromen verbinden können.
