Fava Beans

Fava beans are where you all really get the CSA Club value. Not only do the beans need to be removed from their pods, there is also an outer skin on each bean that needs to be removed. This is most easily done by blanching the beans, but we find doing that the fava are best eaten right away. Instead we carefully remove the skin while the beans so that they’ll last awhile refrigerated. With all the hard work of shelling out of the way, they don’t need much more to be a tasty dish. The buttery, cheesy, flavor of fava beans is unique and delicious. A quick sauté, blanch or steam with any fun herbs or seasonings you might and you have a perfect side.
