zachwycający!


When Agnes and I visited Poland several years ago, it was fresh fava bean season there, and I found them to be incredibly delicious, especially prepared by Agnes' Aunt Barbara.  I found some local fresh favas today!  Here they are as I bought them



Here they are shelled - it's totally fun to shell them, the bean pods are fuzz-lined


Sautee in some butter, onions, breadcrumbs, thyme, salt and pepper.  This is my best interpretation of Aunt Barbara's preparation.  Early Summer delicious!  If you find any fresh favas, try this simple recipe - you can't make it wrong, and it's fun to shell the beans.

Always wanted to cook favas, and now I have a fool-proof recipe, right?
