Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- In a pan on medium-low heat, add the olive oil (or butter), garlic and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, so the garlic and zest can steep without browning, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few more grinds of black pepper than you normally would. Move the contents of the pan around a bit more while cooking, until the thyme is darker in color and the pan is fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
- Add the peas and toss to warm and coat, about 4 minutes. Pour into a serving dish and top with the cheese.
FAVA BEAN, ASPARAGUS, AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH SHAVED PECORINO
Steps:
- Cut asparagus stalks on a long diagonal into 1/8-inch-thick slices, leaving 1-inch-long tips (reserve tips separately).
- Blanch asparagus tips (but not sliced stalks) in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes, then immediately transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking.
- Return water to a boil and blanch fava beans 1 minute, then immediately transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus tips and beans and gently peel skins from beans (it's not necessary to peel edamame, if using).
- Toss beans and asparagus (blanched tips and raw sliced stalks) in a bowl with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste, then divide among 4 plates. Toss arugula with remaining tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and mound on top of vegetables. Shave thin slices of cheese over salad with a vegetable peeler (use about half of piece), then drizzle with vinegar.

FAVA BEAN AND ASPARAGUS SALAD
Thick-stemmed asparagus is best for this flavorful, intensely green salad; thin asparagus would be a bit wimpy. I weighed the asparagus after breaking off the ends. If you want to make this into a more substantial main dish salad, you can add a can of chickpeas to the mix.

Steps:
- Blanch and skin the fava beans and place them in a bowl. Use the blanching water to blanch the asparagus, or steam the asparagus if you prefer. If blanching, bring the water in the pot to a boil, salt generously and add the asparagus spears. Blanch 1 to 4 minutes, depending on how thick the asparagus is; fat spears (recommended) will take up to 4 minutes, but thin ones are ready in 1 minute. You can steam the asparagus over 1 inch boiling water for the same amount of time if you prefer. Transfer the lightly cooked asparagus to a bowl of cold water, then drain and dry on paper towels. Cut into 1-inch lengths. Add to the bowl with the fava beans. Add the herbs, and the chickpeas if using.
- Combine the lemon zest and juice, vinegar, garlic or shallots, and salt to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the oil and yogurt. Toss with the favas and asparagus. Add the shaved Parmesan, toss again and serve, or allow to marinate for 30 minutes, then serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender fava beans. Look for pods that are plump and bright green.
- If you can't find fresh fava beans, you can use frozen or canned beans. Just be sure to thaw or rinse them before using.
- To blanch the fava beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once the beans are cool, remove them from the pods. You can do this by pinching the bean between your thumb and forefinger and pushing it out of the pod.
- The lemon vinaigrette is a great way to add flavor to the salad. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and good quality olive oil.
- Shaved Manchego cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the salad. You can also use other hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Asiago.
- Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Fava bean salad with lemon vinaigrette and shaved Manchego cheese is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The beans are packed with protein and fiber, and the lemon vinaigrette adds a bright, tangy flavor. The shaved Manchego cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the beans and vinaigrette perfectly. This salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
