Greek Fava with Caramelized Onions

Ingredients:

For the fava:
500 g fava (yellow split peas) washed and drained
3 ½ litres water (at room temperature)
1 ½ tsp salt

For the caramelized onions:
3 large onions sliced
60 ml olive oil
60 ml vegan balsamic vinegar


Instructions:
1. Add the fava to a large non-stick pot along with the water.
2. Cook on high heat until most of the water has been absorbed while removing the foam on top with a slotted spoon.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the salt, stirring regularly with a whisk.
4. When it becomes creamy and tender, transfer to a bowl to cool. As it cools to room temperature it will thicken significantly.
5. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over high heat, add the onions, and sauté until they turn golden brown.
6. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook while stirring until the vinegar is absorbed and the onions are left with the oil.
7. Serve the fava garnished with caramelized onions with Greek salad and toasted pita bread on the side.
