Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups peeled shelled fresh fava beans (2 1/2 lb in pod)
1 tsp plus 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 medium red onions, chopped
fine sea salt
generous handful of mint, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:

Cook fava beans with 1 teaspoon oil in boiling unsalted water until tender, 6 to 8 minutes, then drain.
Cook onions in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until just crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add beans and cook until just heated through, then season with sea salt and pepper. Toss in mint. Serve immediately.
Cooks' note: Fava beans can be shelled and peeled (but not cooked) 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
