Pan Fried Fava Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir beans into hot oil until slightly golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Stir garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into beans; continue cooking until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drizzle vinegar over beans and toss.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat a large skillet over a medium flame. Toss the fava beans in the olive oil and salt. Once the skillet is hot, arrange the pods in a single layer in the pan. You will most likely need to work in batches. Saute them for at least 7 minutes per side, leaving them undisturbed as they cook. Larger pods may need more time. Using tongs, flip the pods and saute for another 5-7 minutes on the second side, again leaving undisturbed. Place sauteed pods in the oven to keep warm.

Steps:

• Soak the beans in water for 2 hours, drain and put in a pot with 2 quarts of cold water. Bring to a boil, skim and simmer, covered, for 2 hours, until the beans are very soft. Add the salt and mash the beans by hand or, for a smoother texture, puree in a blender and return to the pot.
• Fry the garlic in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the paprika, cumin, turmeric and cayenne. Add to the soup and simmer for 30 minutes longer, adding water if the soup becomes too thick. Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice and the coriander. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep saucepan.
• Add the broad beans to the hot oil and fry until lightly coloured.
• Remove the fried beans using a slotted spoon. Drain on kitchen paper.
• Season with salt and serve.

Steps:

• Soak the fava beans overnight in water.
• Put beans in a pot with fresh water, with the cloves of garlic, bay leaves, and salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
• When beans are at a full boil, reduce the heat, partially cover, and allow to simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. You will know they are done with they are smooth and tender to the bite. This will take a while, so now would be a good time to start making your main dish.
• When the beans are done, transfer them to a platter to allow them to cool and dry.
• Heat the oil in a fry pan until it is smoking hot, and add the Pancetta (italian bacon) and the sage leaves.
• While the Pancetta is cooking, dredge the beans in the flour, they should be relatively well-coated.
• When the Pancetta is done, leave it in the pan add the beans to the oil a little at a time, forming a single layer on the bottom of the pan. As they fry and become crunchy, remove them to a serving dish. Keep adding the beans until all the beans are fried, then top with the Pancetta and sage leaves.

Steps:

• In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
• When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.
