Grilled Fava Beans
According to
Mariquita
the easiest way to prepare favas is to grill them. The heat of the coals will pop the pods open
and split the hulls that wrap each bean. Remove the beans with your fingers and they're ready. If
there's a bit of char on your fingers from plucking out the beans from the grilled pods, it only
helps the flavor.
Desperation Favas
Again from
Mariquita
this is a very nice way on how to cook fava beans. Cooking this way works best with freshly picked young fava beans.
Remove the fava beans from pods and then BEFORE removing the 'skin', sauté the beans with garlic, olive oil and salt.
The skins come half off and the whole thing can be eaten hot over rice, noodles, as a side dish or as a salad if
chilled.
