1 head garlic, 1/2 inch cut off top to reveal cloves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 cup (2 ounces) walnuts, toasted and chopped
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 pound shucked fresh fava beans (from 3 pounds pods; 3 1/2 cups)
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears of corn)
1 medium cucumber, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Let cool completely, and remove with the slotted spoon. Cook corn in same pot for 1 minute, and drain in a colander. Peel thin shells off beans.

FAVA BEAN AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Fava Bean and Asparagus Salad image

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.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds fava beans, shelled and skinned
1 pound trimmed asparagus, preferably fat spears
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, dill or tarragon
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 to 2 teaspoons lemon zest (to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, minced or puréed, or 2 tablespoons minced shallots
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
1 ounce Parmesan, shaved
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

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.
