apparently it's called a fava bean. apparently people like them. i'm not a fan, of either the time consuming cooking or the flavor. so these appeared in my bountiful basket. i had no idea what they were or what to do with them. but since mr d has been asking for more veggies with his meals, i thought i'd try the recipe that other bountiful basket participants were posting on facebook and serve them alongside a sloppy joe and corn on the cob.
Fava Beans
fava beans
olive oil
garlic, minced
Shell the fava beans and blanch for 10-15 mins. Remove the bean from the casing and saute in olive oil and garlic until fragrant, about 5 mins.
these had kind of a bitter taste i wasn't expecting, although i'm not sure what i was expecting. and then it dawned on me that they kind of tasted like peas, which is probably why mr d was a fan. and was a fitting taste given their appearance as "giant pea pods."
