Fava Beans

Now that they are in season, what are you making with them?

I love this very simple preparation: Blanche the favas til cooked to your liking (just a couple of minutes for me), toss with some extra virgin olive oil, minced fresh thyme, and some salt.

Move quickly...the season will be over here in Los Angeles in the next week or so...

I am making a fava bean salad from the NYT MAgazine that I have made many times. 4 lbs of fava beans, about two cups young pecorino toscano cut in small cubes, 2 scallions, chopped, 1//3 cup parsley, lots of olive oil, salt and pepper, some red pepper flakes and 1 tbs each of white wine and white wine vinegar. Delicious.
