I was excited when I walked down to the garden at the farm today there were a bunch of fava beans ready for to harvest. It feels like it has taken a very long time for anything to mature in the garden this year because we had a very long and wet spring. I also had a recipe in mind to use them in. On the hour long drive home I couldn't help but think how amazing they were going to taste for dinner. When I got home I went straight to my cookbook cabinet and began searching for the recipe. I was so disappointed when I could not find the recipe I was looking for and I did not have the ingredients I needed for the other recipes I came across. Feeling a little defeated I turned to google to help me out and I found a bunch of great looking recipes. I finally decided on this one but I have saved a couple others to use in the near future.
I should mention that if you are a garlic lover like I am, this is not the recipe to be adding extra in because it will overpower the subtle flavours of the sage and beans.
Sage and Garlic Fava Beans
3 lb Fava beans
3 tb Olive oil
3 tb Butter
2 Cloves garlic; minced
Salt/pepper
1 tb Chopped fresh sage
- Steam the fava beans until they are tender and then remove the outer skin.
- Heat the oil and the butter in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sage and stir over medium heat until the garlic is tender.
- Add the beans and stir to coat them in the butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper before serving them hot.
