Low Fat Fava Beans With Parsley And Feta Recipes

Steps:

• Warm fava beans in a small pot.
• Drain and pour into a medium bowl.
• Mix in chopped garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and free fat feta (regular feta can be substituted if desired).
• Serve stuffed in half a pita or wrapped in lavash as a side dish.
• Also tastes great as a quick, light meal served on its own.

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine beans, red onion, mint and parsley.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and 1 tablespoon water. Pour over beans and mix to combine.
• Fold in feta.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Cut the baguette on the diagonal into twelve 1/4-inch-thick slices. (You may have leftover bread.) Brush both sides of each slice generously with olive oil (about 1/4 cup in all). Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven 10 to 12 minutes, until golden and crispy but still tender in the center. While the toasts are warm, rub them with one of the garlic cloves.
• Mince the remaining garlic clove.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Meanwhile, remove the beans from their pods.
• Blanch the beans for about 2 minutes in the boiling water. Drain the beans in a colander, cool them in the ice water, and then slip them out of their pale green shells with your fingers.
• Heat a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining 3/4 cup olive oil, the rosemary sprig, and the chile. Let them sizzle in the oil a minute or two, then stir in the minced garlic. Let it sizzle for a minute and stir in the fava beans, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Simmer the beans 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender (the exact time will depend on the starchiness of the favas). Strain the beans, reserving the oil. Discard the rosemary and chile.
• Transfer the beans into a food processor and purée them. With the motor running, pour in half the reserved oil slowly, until the purée is velvety smooth. Once the purée is smooth, pour in more of the reserved olive oil to taste. Squeeze in some lemon juice, and taste for seasoning. (The amount of oil you will need depends on the starchiness of the beans.)
• In a small bowl, toss the olives and parsley with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Crumble in the feta, tossing gently to combine.
• Spoon the warm fava bean purée onto a platter. Place the grilled toasts off to one side, and scatter the feta-olive salad over the purée.

Steps:

• Briefly cook the broad beans in simmering water, drain and refresh in cold water. Squeeze them out of their grey outer pods, if you want.
• Put the parsley in a bowl, add the shallot and feta. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan and toast the almonds, add a little salt to the pan, toss, then add the parsley mix along with the beans. Dress with the juice from 2 of the lemon wedges and serve the other 2 on the side.

Steps:

• Top an tail the beans if required. If you use baby beans then this step can be omitted.
• Cook beans in boiling salted water, until cooked to your liking.
• Strain and toss with olive oil and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Mash fava beans in a bowl using the back of a spoon or pestle. Add onion, tomato, lemon juice, parsley, olive oil, salt, and garlic; mix well.
