Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup whole almonds
12 1/3-inch-thick slices French bread
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for toast
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, cut into small chunks (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint
1 small head fennel, very thinly sliced, then coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a small baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Let stand until cool. Very coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Heat broiler. Arrange bread on baking sheet. Brush lightly with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until just beginning to brown on the edges, about 1 minute per side. Remove from broiler; set aside.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add fava beans, and blanch for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to ice bath until cool. Pop out of skin.
  • In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Add almonds, fava beans, cheese, and mint. Stir to combine. Taste, and adjust for seasoning.
  • Place a pile of fennel on each of four plates, top with one quarter of the fava-bean salad. Serve with 3 slices of toast.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pink shallot, minced
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
10 ounces asparagus, cut into pieces

ASPARAGUS, ARTICHOKE, AND FAVA BEAN SALAD



Asparagus, Artichoke, and Fava Bean Salad image

Ricotta salata is an aged salted ricotta cheese. You can substitute another salted, crumbly cheese, such as feta.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lemons
3 medium artichokes
3 cups whole milk
5 cups water, plus more for bowl and pan
1 pound each white and green asparagus, cut into 5-inch spears, trimmed and peeled
2 cups dry white wine
2 pounds fresh fava bean pods, shelled (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh mint
3 ounces ricotta salata cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 scallion, green part only
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Juice 1 lemon into a large bowl filled with water. Remove tough outer leaves of artichokes, cut off top two-thirds, and scoop out fuzzy chokes with a spoon; discard. Cut each in half, transferring to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.
  • Bring milk, 3 cups water, and white asparagus to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tender, skimming foam, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let drain and cool.
  • Bring prepared artichokes, wine, remaining lemon (squeezed, with rind), and remaining 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 13 to 16 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer artichokes to a paper-towel-lined plate; let drain and cool. Discard lemon.
  • Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large saute pan of water to a boil. Add green asparagus, and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, and let cool; reserve cooking liquid. Drain asparagus on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add fava beans to boiling cooking liquid, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, let cool, then squeeze beans from skins. Divide beans and vegetables among 8 plates. Sprinkle with mint and ricotta salata.
  • Make the dressing: Puree all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Drizzle over salads, and serve.

FAVA BEAN, ASPARAGUS AND ARUGULA SALAD



Fava Bean, Asparagus and Arugula Salad image

I make this with cooked, shelled edamame (soybeans) that I get at the super Wal-Mart. It's already cooked and just has to be added to the asparagus, not blanched first. I also don't divide the salad. I just put it on a platter as listed in the directions.

Categories     Spring     Bean     Asparagus     Green Bean     Lemon     Orange     Olive Oil     Garlic     Thyme     Rosemary     Lunch     Mother's Day     Appetizer     snack     Brunch     Peanut Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian     Vegan     Vegetable

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup shelled fava beans (from about 1¼ lb. pods)
8 oz. asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut on a diagonal into 1" pieces
5 oz. frozen shelled edamame or 10 oz. edamame pods, shelled (about 1 cup)
4 oz. French green beans, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
2 lemons
1 orange
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 Tbsp. fennel seeds, lightly crushed
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. sugar

Steps:

  • Cook fava beans in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until pale green and tender and skins look swollen, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water. Let cool completely, about 2 minutes. Remove from ice bath with slotted spoon and peel outer layer from fava beans; set aside.
  • Combine asparagus, edamame, and green beans in the same pot of boiling water and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath and let sit until cold, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from lemons, leaving as much white pith behind as possible. Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice though your hand or fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Remove peel from orange with peeler; set fruit aside for another use (or eat!)
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium until shimmering, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Add garlic and let sizzle until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon and orange zest, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, salt, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain vegetables, discarding any remaining ice cubes, and add to infused room-temperature oil along with lemon juice; stir to combine. Transfer vegetables and oil to a 1½-qt. glass jar; cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Do ahead: Vegetables can be marinated up to 6 days ahead. Keep chilled.

FAVA BEAN AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Fava Bean and Asparagus Salad image

Thick-stemmed asparagus is best for this flavorful, intensely green salad; thin asparagus would be a bit wimpy. I weighed the asparagus after breaking off the ends. If you want to make this into a more substantial main dish salad, you can add a can of chickpeas to the mix.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds fava beans, shelled and skinned
1 pound trimmed asparagus, preferably fat spears
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, dill or tarragon
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 to 2 teaspoons lemon zest (to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, minced or puréed, or 2 tablespoons minced shallots
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
1 ounce Parmesan, shaved
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Blanch and skin the fava beans and place them in a bowl. Use the blanching water to blanch the asparagus, or steam the asparagus if you prefer. If blanching, bring the water in the pot to a boil, salt generously and add the asparagus spears. Blanch 1 to 4 minutes, depending on how thick the asparagus is; fat spears (recommended) will take up to 4 minutes, but thin ones are ready in 1 minute. You can steam the asparagus over 1 inch boiling water for the same amount of time if you prefer. Transfer the lightly cooked asparagus to a bowl of cold water, then drain and dry on paper towels. Cut into 1-inch lengths. Add to the bowl with the fava beans. Add the herbs, and the chickpeas if using.
  • Combine the lemon zest and juice, vinegar, garlic or shallots, and salt to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the oil and yogurt. Toss with the favas and asparagus. Add the shaved Parmesan, toss again and serve, or allow to marinate for 30 minutes, then serve.
