By Paul Thompson


Fava is a large bean, one of the tastiest and meatiest beans you can find. It is often used as a flour improver, because it gives fuller and more distinguished taste. It possesses active fat-oxidizing enzymes which affects gluten protein, providing gluten-free baking qualities. There are numerous fava flour recipes for baking cookies, cakes, breads or pizzas.

This special ingredient is sometimes combined with garbanzo beans. If you have a larger quantity to keep, you should keep it in your freezer. Thanks to the fact it doesn't contain gluten, it is recommendable for people who are gluten intolerant. It might need more baking powder, but it does taste nice and gives some special quality to your foods. Replace some ingredients in your own recipes, or try to make one of these.

Anyway, here are a few recipes you could try to make right now, and you won't be disappointed. The first one is called the quick apple cake. And it is really simple and tasty. All you need are three to four apples, a small spoon of vanilla sugar, cinnamon and baking powder, and one cup of following ingredients, sugar, fava flour, walnuts.

The first thing you should do is to switch on the oven, on 180 degrees of Celsius. Take a non-stick pan and spread the apples mixed with one spoon of sugar and cinnamon on the pan. Bake it for maybe fifteen minutes. Mix egg whites with the rest of sugar, add yolks, vanilla and oil and continue mixing. Add all dry ingredients, mix it all together and spread over baked apples. Put it back into oven for another fifteen minutes.

When baked, the cake should be turned upside down. Maybe you would have to correct the surface. It's nice to decorate it with some whipped cream or some other topping of your choice. Lactose intolerant people could use non-dairy whipping. When it comes to sweetness, the amount of sugar depends on your personal taste. This particular cake is not very sweet, but it's easy to change it.
