Kind of a Maltese version of hummus, this popular treat can be found at most food counters. I adjusted amounts to US measurements so it would be easier for those of us not accustomed to cooking with metric amounts. (Prep time includes overnight soak time - for a shortcut, you can tried canned broad beans. Broad beans are also known as Fava Beans - Silence of the Lambs, anyone?)
