I got a boatload of fresh fava beans growing in my front yard. Some of these beans jumped ship and joined a 'Soup Ship' of stock and vegetables. Fava Beans (Broad Beans) are easy to grow and add a little bonus to your soil with nitrogen. These plants are hardy, but may need staking if you have a lot wind. I try to plant my fava's in late November. The Bay Area has a moderate climate and we rarely get a frost. I take up my summer crop and lay down fava's and pea's. My Pea's are not doing so well because of Mojo.
- 1 pound fresh Fava beans (Shelled, Blanched, and Peeled)
- 4 cups of Stock
- salt & pepper
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1/2 potato sliced thin
Boil the Stock and 1/2 cup of the fresh fava beans and potato slices for 15 minutes. Place in blender with salt,pepper, and cream. Add 1/2 cups of fava beans and simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve with Cranberry Cornmeal Quick Bread
