In large pot boil fava beans with 1\/2 roughly chopped onion, 3\u00a0of the garlic cloves and then reduce the heat to medium\u00a0for an hour. Drain, but reserve liquid and cool.<\/p>\n<p>Add the bean mixture to\u00a0a food processor (we&#8217;ve got our handy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitchenaid.ca\/en_CA\/countertop-appliances\/food-processors\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kitchenaid<\/a>)\u00a0and add the rest of garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, spices and a bit of reserved liquid &#8211; slowly add about 1\/4 cup if beans were well drained. Process on high speed until smooth, adding additional liquid if necessary to thin. \u00a0It should be thin enough to pour or spread out on a plate. Garnish with ground cumin, paprika, paprika, olive oil, and chopped parsley and serve with pita bread on a nice looking tray.

Simmer for about 40 mins\u00a0smashing down with a potato masher occasionally. Liquid should be\u00a0reduced and the zaalouk\u00a0should be dip like.
