Directions
Fava Beans Method: Shuck the Fava Beans from the pods.
Drop the Fava Beans into boiling, salted water until they float, approximately 2 minutes. Strain and drop into iced water until cold. Peel the outer skin from the Fava Beans to expose to intense sweet green bean inside.
In a large sauté pan, render the pancetta and cook until golden. Add the garlic and heavy cream; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add the Fava Beans, tomatoes and basil. Serve. Works wonderfully as a vegetable side with lamb or pork! |
