How to Cook Broad Beans? | 3 Incredible Recipes: Fava, Broad Bean Hummus, Cypriot Broad Beans

[@jodrew1845]

I'm a 63 year old vegan and appreciate you sharing these recipes with your audience. It adds to my and many others repertoire.

[@magdamanoli8753]

My father is a 91 year old Greek Cypriot who absolutely loved having the broad beans made for him whenever he went back to Cyprus. Only my aunt could make it for him and used her fresh broad beans. She also added chopped onions on top. I never learnt to make it until I watched your video today. I live in the UK where we’re still in lockdown in my area. I will try to get a bag of frozen broad beans and make this for him. Thank you for sharing such a n old fashioned, but classic Cypriot recipe with us. Bless you and stay safe and virus free

[@ahmetdagdelen6180]

It is nice to hear your fathers stroy. ı wish him more healthy happy years with you. In fact we also add onions on top :) Some people cook like Refika more thick and with shape. But some people cook like pure, paste ( like humus ) and put chopped onion on top. And i like with the onion too like your Father :)

[@paulJkiely]

Best wishes to your dad. How much are frozen broad beans in the UK?

[@magdamanoli8753]

@@paulJkiely Approximately £1.85/ kg though I could probably get them cheaper if I go to Aldi or Lidl.

[@paulJkiely]

@@magdamanoli8753 oh that’s very reasonable. Not so easy to get in Hong Kong. I bought a 200 gm bag of frozen Japanese Fava Beans and spent the equivalent of £2.50 . Can find them in the markets in their pods but not always available.

I'm learning so much about Turkish foods and Turkey in general (my education is sorely lacking in World History, and I'm making up for it by watching food videos from around the world!) I am in the United States, and I think immersion blenders (also called stick blenders or hand blenders) are fairly common, I think. Thank you for your hard work, and thank Bahar, also. What a treat to have such good friends in my computer to enjoy time with! Goodness will win. It must. Thank you for being a part of the goodness.

Awesome strategy. And I anyways feel that students should be taught history by the stories of food and music and art, rather than through the stories of wars and pillage. 😊

[@MalteseKat]

@jexx30. Food is an excellent way to learn about countries and the culture. I'm in the United States as well and it's easy to see how lacking in geography and history we are. Another very pleasant view at other cultures is international folk music and dancing. You might find a social dance group at your University. Of course it will have to wait until next year.

i realised that it actually sounds rather funny in english too, and laughed when she said it, but this is in fact a direct translation from turkish :D we use the act of looking for senses other than seeing

[@sumidumi2774]

Here is a trivia... I first came across these beans on the streets of Cusco,Peru where they are roasted or boiled and sold by the local ladies dressed in colourful garb. They call them 'fava' beans! And in Turkey 'fava' is the dish made from the beans! Its amazing how food travels around the world. Those roasted favas were the best snack after a hike there in the high altitudes.

[@victoriashevlin8587]

I think Americans sometimes call them fave beans.

[@romeohosang9518]

Hey.. I am PERUVIAN... is not FAVA... is ABBA (like the 70's music group) ... it is written like this: Haba... but in spanish... H is mute, is a consonat without sound... except in Cuzco, that certain places changes certain sounds and mute H... sounds as F for some people... and Z, for example in certain places of Perú sounds lile "h (Lima) or zzzz (Cuzco and Arequipa) or ss (almost everwhere else)"

[@valeriemason1611]

Hey there Refika and Bahar. Great video with lots of interesting history of hammams. Fantastic recipes for the fava beans. You are rocking my world. Yes, for the stick blender. Mine came with a little base with blade and lid so blender can be attached and beans can be put in bottom part and pureed without messing up stick blender.

[@susanneanna2421]

I'd say everyone in Germany owns a handblender, it's called a Stabmixer here or Zauberstab. Love your recipes. please keep going, your videos always put a smile on my face.

It's a joy to watch you cook and especially to see you feed your camera woman. Reminds this Kentucky girl of all the Lebanese mothers & grandmothers I watched cook growing up.

[@Getpojke]

KZbin should have a "love" button as well as the "like" one. In a strange coincidence I spent part of the afternoon making some chickpea hummus and some of your lavas flatbreads. One of the hummus was topped with some black tahini and sprinkled with a lot of dukkah, the other with za'atar and some summac, with side dishes of crispy chickpeas with Urfa biber, and a lot of raw vegetables/crudités. Good hummus always makes me do a happy dance , so coupled with watching you make some new dishes to try its a very happy Sunday for me. I can't wait to try making the Fava, looks so tasty, but I'll make all three since I'll be cooking the broadbeans anyway. You asked about the "blender" tool, here in the UK it's just called a "stick blender" and I use mine a lot. Seemingly we Scottish people eat more soup per capita than any other nation and it is very handy for getting good thick soup bases. I hope your hand heals up quickly and look forward to your next video. Teşekkür ederim

[@williepriggs]

Rafika, Thanks for what you do. We discovered you when you appeared on Alex's Channel. Watching your videos and trying your recipes, has made this quarantine seem just a little better. Each time you post something new, we all wait until we can watch it together. We've tried several of the dishes that you've shared. I think our favorite, so far, has been menemen. We also like the way you do hummus. We'll probably do cream cheese next (because we have lots of fresh basil)... or maybe lavash, it's hard to decide?!? BTW - in the United States, hand blenders are pretty common (easy to find in stores). Most people who are interested in cooking probably have one. -Riggs Family (Hoover, Alabama)

[@daniellevine6131]

I love how simple these recipes are, it really shows how you highlight the ingredient's natural flavor and wealth rather than trying to create complex recipes. Ever since going vegan I have really enjoyed the natural taste of things and appreciating ingredients is very important, and I appreciate how you use the ingredients and how much you teach us about Turkish culture. And also those hand blenders are very easily accessible to me in New York, and I'm pretty sure throughout the US. keep doing what you're doing, its going great!

She left to be a hip hop artist, and I haven’t seen her since the mid 90’s. I remember her practicing dancing on the roof of the apartment building I lived in. And she always told us she loved San Francisco because it reminded her of Istanbul, which was her hometown.

Hi, I am from Lima Perú, love your channel!!! On Lima¿s markets that kind of handly blender that you are using is common for small apartments or people that cook little batches, but due to the space, I decided not to hove 2 things or more that do almost the same, so I use very strong blender, big capacity... Oster " Expert " is affordable and works fine for me. I assume most people in this city have a blender, if they have a family of 4 or more is a smart thing to get instead of using a small tool. Hope this answer helps you to develop more recipes for family batches. By the way... here is not too common to find restaurants of Turkish food...(here there is a lot of Chinese, Japanese, of course, Peruvian food... ), thanks to you I am enjoying new flavors , new textures... Wish you could share more about meal preps, and dishes the use less animal produce for the ones that are not vegetarian but would like to eat less of these... thanks in advance...
