Marinated Fava Beans
Fava beans are sweet, tender, and pleasantly starchy. When they're coated with a slick of olive oil, vinegar and garlic bits, the contrast between the sharp dressing and the mild greenness of the beans is really wonderful.
1 lb. fava beans
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. While the water heats, remove the fava beans from their long pods. Once the water boils, add the fava beans and cook until bright green and just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water. Pop the bright green fava beans out of their casing and set aside. In a pint jar, combine the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary sprigs, salt, and pepper. Place a lid on the jar and shake to combine the vinaigrette. Pour prepared fava beans into the jar of vinaigrette. Replace lid and shake to coat the fava beans. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving. Marinated fava beans will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
