Fava Bean Crostini

[Guest guest]

If you can't find fava beans, then prepare recipe with edamame

 

Fava Bean Crostini

 

2 pounds fresh fava beans

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemon thyme leaves

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

 

18 slices French or Italian bread, brushed with olive oil and toasted

 

Shell the fava beans. You should have about 1 cup shelled beans. Cook beans in

1 quart boiling water until just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on size

of beans. Drain beans. Put hot beans into a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain.

Peel outer skin of beans by loosening with tip of thumbnail or knife and

slipping off.

Put shelled, peeled beans, garlic and thyme into bowl of food processor and

puree while adding the olive oil in a steady stream. Puree until smooth. Taste

and add salt and pepper as desired.

Spread fava bean puree on toast slices to serve.

* Note - Soy beans will taste almost the same as

a sub. in this recipe.

 

 

 

Don't be angry with life.

There are so many things to be happy for.

Cold, fresh water,

green leaves

and the eyes of good people.
