Receta Cold Bób Salad (Fava Bean, Broad Bean)
Polska piątek (Polish Friday) #2
Peeling the beans does take a bit of time, but it's well worth it. (I didn't the first time I cooked them.) The skins are very tough, removing them reveals a tender bean and lets the beautiful, green color show. Two of Gosia's sons still live at home, and she says if you can recruit helpers, it goes very quickly.
Ingredients
bób, fresh fava or broad beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup diced fresh herbs (I used chives, parsley, basil, thyme, mint and dill)
Directions
Boil the beans in salted water until tender, 5 - 10 minutes. Drain.
Using a sharp knife, make a small slit in the skin of each bean; peel and discard the skin.
Gently toss with remaining ingredients; Chill.
Serves: 3 - 4
