Fava Beans
Zucchini
Red Onion
White Onion
Elephant Garlic
Beets
Carrots
Potatoes
Blue Kale 
Mushrooms
Thyme

I do enjoy fava beans very much.  I think they are a great little legume.  One might say they are labor intensive, but I think it is worth the reward.  It's a great way to get the kids in the kitchen or the significant other, for that matter.  Sit down, chat, and break open the pods to get at the beans.  (Don't forget that once you have remove them from the pod, you must boil them for a minute or two in order to peal the casing off of the actual bean).  Okay, perhaps at this point you think about having a glass of wine while chit-chatting with the fava bean peeling party!

Below is a great little treat or appetizer using fava beans:


Happy Cooking!

Best,
Michelle
