Best 5 Pan Fried Fava Beans Recipes

PAN-FRIED BUTTER BEANS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir beans into hot oil until slightly golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Stir garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into beans; continue cooking until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drizzle vinegar over beans and toss.

PAN-FRIED FAVA BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat a large skillet over a medium flame. Toss the fava beans in the olive oil and salt. Once the skillet is hot, arrange the pods in a single layer in the pan. You will most likely need to work in batches. Saute them for at least 7 minutes per side, leaving them undisturbed as they cook. Larger pods may need more time. Using tongs, flip the pods and saute for another 5-7 minutes on the second side, again leaving undisturbed. Place sauteed pods in the oven to keep warm.
