- 2 1/2 lb Unshelled fava beans
- 1 lg -or-
- 2 sm Sweet red peppers
- 2 tb Olive oil
- 2 (large) cloves; finely
- -minced
- 1/3 White wine
- 1/4 ts Dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground
- -pepper
- 2 tb Fresh lemon juice
Directions
This is a lovely side dish and it's also good with pasta.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil while you remove the fava
beans from their pods.
Meanwhile, roast the red peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler,
turning until all sides are uniformly charred. Remove from the heat and
place in a paper or plastic bag until cool enough to handle. Remove all the
charred skin, rinse the peppers and pat dry. Slice into thin strips, then
cut the strips into 1 - or 2-inch lengths.
Blanch the fava beans for 30 seconds, no longer, drain, and transfer to a
bowl of cold water. Slip the beans out of their thick skins, and place in
a bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed lidded skillet and gently saute the
garlic until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the fava beans and red peppers
and stir together over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the wine and
the thyme, cover, and turn heat to low. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes (they are
very good slightly crunchy and bright green; after they've cooked 5 minutes
their color dulls and they become quite soft). Add salt and freshly ground
pepper to taste, stir in the lemon juice, and serve.
