The only thing I did differently was paring the task of getting the peas out with a Montlouis Petillant.....i didn't have the Cremant de Jura in the pantry. Ha! Cheers and thanks again for the great recipe.<BR/><BR/>www.theschist.comMichael D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07742128807651888242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-63505134085344985662008-08-07T22:00:00.000-04:002008-08-07T22:00:00.000-04:00mike - i'm waiting....let us know with a link to y...mike - i'm waiting....let us know with a link to your site?<BR/><BR/>hey jbh - yes, favism is bad news indeed, very dangerous. i deal with this by not allowing anyone with favism into my apartment. in that way you could say i am a favist.<BR/><BR/>andrzej - thank you for this comment, and for traveling here all the way from Poland. I've read that these beans make a great snack, but I always read about drying and salting them, like in China. This sounds great too. <BR/><BR/>hi michelecolline - appreciate this comment. funny how words can lose their impact over time and across cultures and then we forget that they once had a negative connotation. <BR/><BR/>by the way, aren't you supposed to be out there thinning your crop, preparing for harvest, things like that? nice to see you here.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-56494553797083237882008-07-31T11:12:00.000-04:002008-07-31T11:12:00.000-04:00In some areas of Italy 'fava' is an 'undesirable' ...In some areas of Italy 'fava' is an 'undesirable' word.

The bowl of cooked fava beans is one of my family's favourite light early summer lunches.

So so chewy. This puree sounds excellent, though--especially backing up some grilled meat.

They grow extremely well in our garden, as we learned three years ago when we had twice as many as we could eat.<BR/><BR/>Also, we remove them from the pods, cook them, and then peel them (which is a lot easier then). A lot of tedious peeling, esp. when you make enough for five, as we often do.<BR/><BR/>Your recipe looks good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
