Ingredients
  • 1 cup of double shelled (outer pod & inner shell removed) fresh fava or broad bean
  • couple glugs of olive oil
  • garlic clove, skinned, whole
  • tablespoon of lemon
  • water
  • shaved parmesan
  • salt & pepper
  • baguette or crusty bread, sliced & toasted
Instructions

Throw the fava in a pan & cover with water & a little salt. Bring to a boil & lower to a simmer. Cook a couple of minutes until the fava are tender.

Drain.

Return the pan to the heat.

Pour in a couple glugs of olive oil and the garlic clove. Fry the garlic until browned. Then discard garlic.

Toss the fava into the pan & saute for a minute or two. Then begin mashing with the back of a wooden spoon until you form a paste. If you need to add a bit of water, do so.

Remove fava paste from heat & season with salt & pepper add a squeeze of lemon.

Toast slices of good bread & rub warm fava mixture & top with shaved parmesan. You can drizzle a little really good quality extra virgin olive oil as well if you like.
