FAVA BEANS WITH PECORINO

Fava Beans with Pecorino image

This salad can be made with raw fava beans, as long as they're especially fresh. But blanching them quickly makes them much easier to peel.

Provided by Federica Cucinelli

Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 cups shelled fresh fava beans (from about 3 pounds pods ) or frozen fava beans, thawed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 ounce Pecorino, shaved or coarsely grated
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

If using fresh fava beans, cook in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water (do not cook frozen beans). Drain and peel beans.
Toss beans, oil, vinegar, and Pecorino in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.
DO AHEAD: Salad can be made 1 day ahead (add cheese just before serving). Cover and chill.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients.
To save time, you can cook the beans in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano or thyme instead.
Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for up to 2 hours before serving.

The combination of creamy pecorino cheese, hearty beans, and fresh vegetables is sure to please everyone at your table. Plus, it's a great way to use up any leftover beans you may have on hand.
