Spring is in full-force which means Fava Beans in my CSA farm box! If you get them whole and fresh, they are a bit of work, but totally worth it. (One pound of fresh favas in the pod will yield about 1 cup shucked.) I have been eating them for lunch, mixed with feta, mint, sunflower seeds and avocado. If you can’t find favas, you could substitute edamame beans. Enjoy!
