Beginner Fava Bean & Pecorino Salad
From Saveur [1]
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2-2 lbs. fresh young favas*
6 oz. young Tuscan pecorino
1⁄4 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- *Note: Look for fresh, young favas whose skins are so thin and tender that they don't need peeling. Look for smaller, unblemished fava pods, snapping a few open to see whether the beans are small and thin-skinned.
Directions
- Shell favas into a medium bowl. Break pecorino into small chunks into bowl with favas. Drizzle olive oil over favas and cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently toss salad, then divide among plates.
Serves 2 to 4.
