You’re far too sophisticated to serve a store-bought dip.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups fava beans, fresh or frozen
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 oz. fresh hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 3 tablespoons tahini paste
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ½ cup Castello-Rosenborg® Crumbled Blue cheese
  • Flatbread crisps, cracker or pita breads
Directions

1. Bring fava beans, garlic, and salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Crumble sausage and cook in a skillet over medium heat for three minutes. Drain fat, return to heat, and continue cooking until sausage is completely cooked. Set aside.

3. In a food processor, combine tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add fava beans and parsley; pulse to a coarse mixture.

4. Transfer mixture to a platter and top with sausage and crumbled blue cheese. Serve with crisps, crackers or pita.
