Preparation
- Step 1
Soak the raisins in ½ tablespoon of the sherry mixed with 2 tablespoons water. Moisten the bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon of the sherry vinegar mixed with 1 tablespoon water.
- Step 2
Briefly steam the favas in their pods until just wilted, about 5 minutes. Refresh in cold water. Peel from the pods, shell and set aside. The favas should be almost raw.
- Step 3
Crush the garlic with the salt. Add the garlic paste to a food processor along with the fava beans, bread paste, cumin, salt to taste and the remaining sherry and vinegar. Blend well. Add the olive oil in a thin stream. Gradually work in 2 cups of ice water. Chill for at least 3 hours. Garnish with grapes and the drained raisins.

I love fava beans. But this turned out to be more of a hummus than a soup Probably something I did. It tastes fine, but I will be using it on wraps rather than in a bowl.
