Re: garden = food = ?

Hi, Nan,

I love to put them in risotto. I shell them from the pod and throw them in boiling water for a few minutes. I then shell the "meat" of the beans out of their skin and throw them in my risotto towards the end. So good!

I think there must be some pesto and dip recipes for fava beans, too.

I don't think this is too much off topic at all! What's the point in gardening if you can't share ideas for after harvesting our rewards! I'd be interested in other recipes out there.

happy gardening and eating!

A foodie question for my Medit pals:

I grew fava beans this year for the first time but I have no idea how to prepare them. I'd appreciate any help you might offer but since this is a bit OT, let's communicate off-line.

Thanks!

Nan
