Fava beans are a culinary highlight of spring, but double-shelling them takes time. Very young favas, though, can be eaten pod and all. Prep and Cook Time: 45 minutes. Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil |
1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced |
1 1/2 pounds fava bean pods, ends trimmed and strings removed |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/4 cup chopped dill, plus 1 tbsp. for garnish |
plain whole-milk or greek-style yogurt |
Directions:
1. Put oil and onion in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add favas, salt, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
2. Add 1/4 cup dill, cover, and cook until fava pods are tender and starting to fall apart, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp. dill and serve warm or at room temperature, with yogurt on the side.
3. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving, without yogurt.
