Method

Hayato Menu

  1. 1

    Prep beans

    Rinse and drain 2 cups of canned fava beans thoroughly and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Flavor base

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat; add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lemon zest and stir to release citrus oils.

  3. 3

    Cook beans

    Add the drained fava beans to the skillet; toss to coat with the garlic oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until beans are warmed through and glossy.

  4. 4

    Finish and season

    Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. If using, crumble feta over the beans and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a gentle kick.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve warm, optionally with crusty bread or warm pita.
