For your Shopping Cart:

With the colors and flavors in our Fava Beans & Potatoes recipe, you need nothing else (but maybe a crusty piece of bread.)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shelled fava beans (about 2 pounds fresh fava beans unshelled)
• 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 ripe tomatoes roughly chopped or 3 tablespoons DeLallo Crushed Tomatoes
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

To prepare the fava beans:  Take the shelled beans and drop them in boiling salted water for 30 seconds to loosen the outerskin. Remove and place into ice water. Peel off the beans thick waxy outer covering. Place the beans to the side. Cook the cubed potatoes until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes; drain and place on the side.

Meanwhile in a saucepan heat the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes. Combine the fava beans and potatoes with other ingredients in the saucepan. Cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. If needed, add a a touch of hot water or stock to keep a moist consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
