About

Greek Fava is creamy comfort food: rustic, hearty and nutritious, it is so good on its own but goes particularly well with dark leafy greens and with salty ingredients like anchovies, sardines or feta. This addictive purée also adds a wonderful splash of vibrant green colour topped with salsa as one of a selection of little meze dishes.
