Fava Bean Recipes

Lemon Garlic Favas

Ingredients

1 bag favas

2 Tbsp oil

4 cloves garlic

2-3 Tbsp lemon juice

1-2 onion greens, chopped

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Remove favas from pods. You can remove the outer skin of the individual beans, but I always leave it on. It is easier to remove the outer skin after they have been boiled.

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the favas for 2-3 minutes, then either rinse with cold water or dunk in an ice water bath.

Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Add the beans and cook for an additional five minutes.

Remove from the heat, add lemon juice, top with onion greens and season with salt and pepper as desired.
