This is technically this is a side dish, but DH likes it so well that sometimes he will eat nothing but these beans. Most the time I make this a day ahead and just popped in the oven the next day. Ingredients:
2 lbs fava beans, fresh, will yield about 1 pound shelled beans |
1 large onion, cleaned and chopped |
1 teaspoon butter |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
8 ounces tomato sauce |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Shell the beans, add to boiling water, cook for apprx 10 minutes, dash into cold water drain.
2. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet. Add onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until the onions are golden brown apprx 20 minutes.
3. Add Fava beans, tomato sauce, and pepper to the onions.
4. Place beans and onions in an oven proof dish and sprinkle with cheese.
5. To make this dish ahead stop here and refrigerate.
6. Bake in 350 F oven for 20 minutes if beans are hot off the stove and 30 minutes if they have been in the frig.
7. Cheese will be melted, if you would like it browned will need to place under the broiled for a minute or two.
