Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the fava beans and remove any remaining pods if they are fresh. If using dried fava beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add Fava Beans

    Add the shelled fava beans to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add Greens

    Stir in the chopped kale or Swiss chard and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Serve hot as a side dish or over grains for a complete meal.
