Also known in the culinary sense as the broad bean, fava bean is a species of vetch, a flowering plant in the pea and bean family Fabaceae. It is widely cultivated as a crop for human consumption, and also as a cover crop.
Here is how you can make it into a delicious plate for the family.
Ingredients:
Boiling water
Salt
Ice
Tap water
2 lbs of Delifood’s fava beans
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- First, shell the beans from the Delifood’s fava beans bag.
- In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add salt, the amount depends on how much water you have, but it should be very salty, like seawater.
- In a bowl, combine ice and tap water to make ice water and let it set aside.
- Add the shelled beans to the boiling water and let cook for about 3 minutes, then remove from the saucepan and immediately plunge into the ice water to halt the cooking.
- Let the beans cool, then peel the outer skin from each of them.
- Over medium heat in a skillet, melt together the butter and olive oil, then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the peeled Delifood’s fava beans and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are done to your preference.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, serve, and enjoy!
