Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup whole almonds
12 1/3-inch-thick slices French bread
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for toast
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, cut into small chunks (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint
1 small head fennel, very thinly sliced, then coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a small baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Let stand until cool. Very coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Heat broiler. Arrange bread on baking sheet. Brush lightly with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until just beginning to brown on the edges, about 1 minute per side. Remove from broiler; set aside.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add fava beans, and blanch for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to ice bath until cool. Pop out of skin.
  • In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Add almonds, fava beans, cheese, and mint. Stir to combine. Taste, and adjust for seasoning.
  • Place a pile of fennel on each of four plates, top with one quarter of the fava-bean salad. Serve with 3 slices of toast.
