Fava Beans Supreme
Fava beans are not often found on menus and in my opinion are very under rated. When cooked properly they are delicious and offer a nice change from our regular veggies. There are many ways you can enjoy them i just threw this recipe together last night and served them with new carrots, minted peas and peppered prawns. in addition try adding a chopped leek to the stir fry.
Steps
Shell the fava beans and boil in lightly salted water for about 6 minutes.
Cool the beans in cold water and remove outer skin on each bean.
Place fava beans in a well buttered heatproof dish.
Saute onion , garlic & tomato in the oil until just soft.
Pour over the beans & cover with foil.
Bake in 350f degrees oven for 15 minutes.
Remove foil , sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Bake under broiler for a few min until cheese is golden.
Serve.
You may wish to mix some bread crumbs with the parmesan or use buttered crumbs as a topping.
Do whatever appeals to your taste buds !.
