By the time I saw this poster on Saturday afternoon it was too late to go to Schinoussa and support this event! Good luck with the festival and long may it thrive!

Fava
Wherever I am, I like eating local food. I have only been to Santorini a few times, and I don't remember eating fava on Santorini. But I have eaten fava on both Naxos and Amorgos.
On the plate fava is a thick yellow puree, served warm with olive oil, chopped red onion, and parsley.
I found this comment in the article interesting
“Consumers should also know that if you see something advertised as Santorini fava being sold at 2 euros a kilo, it is not from Santorini.”
as, although I recognise fava this dish when I see it, I am never sure if the beans (or are they peas?) that I see in shops are the raw material of which fava is made.
I must confess that I have not yet tried making fava!
