Ingredients
- 2 Cups Peeled Fava Beans (Fresh or frozen)
- 1 Large Avocado
- 3 Cups Vegan milk/cream Almond, coconut, or other
- 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 Tbsp Finely chopped Lemongrass
- 1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Cilantro

- 1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Mint
- 1 Tbsp Agave Syrup
- 1 tsp Agar agar
- Avocado Oil for Cooking
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- More herbs, avocado, and fava beans to Garnish
- Microgreens to serve with
Instructions
- Peel and cut your avocado. Peel your fava beans if they aren't already. Gather all your ingredients.
- Saute the fava beans in a light olive oil over high heat to accentuate the color. Do not overcook. But, make them soft enough to puree.
- Bring the Vegan milk, agave, and lemongrass to a simmer. Whisk in the agar agar and allow to thicken. Remove from heat and move onto the next steps.
- In a good blender, blend the beans until smooth. Add in the avocado, herbs, lime juice, and a little avocado oil. Blend until a fine puree. Add in the vegan milk steeped with avocado. Blend until smooth. Transfer the mousse to molds. Refrigerate for at least an hour until they hold their shape.
- Serve in the dishes or unmold onto a salad of microgreens, herbs, and vegetables with lemon juice, avocado oil, salt and pepper as a dressing.
