Fava Beans with Meyer Lemon, The Vegetable Diva
Fava Beans with Meyer Lemons
And get them when you are full of peaceful zen and patience.
To me, Fava Beans are vegetable divas. They require TWO peelings. But there is a reason why Mother Nature gave it so much padding - to protect it's yummy center.
Russ Parson's of the Los Angeles Times recommends buying a POUND of fava beans PER PERSON. Serious. There is a lot of organic compostable waste in fava beans.
First, you remove the pods from the bean.
Then, blanch the pods in boiling water for a minute or so.
The pods look milky white. But you aren't done. You need to remove that white layer to grab the beautiful green fava bean.
To get the bean out, I split the white layer with my nail. You can't just pop it out. You need to peel/slit the outer cover. Dude, I warned you. DIVA VEGETABLE.
Finally, after getting to the fava, you might be exhausted. So go simple and saute the beans with some olive oil and Meyer lemon zest. Finish with some good sea salt and cracked pepper.
Here are some other pretty things I found at the Farmer's Market. I'll post something I made with these strawberries this week!
