Is it spring already? Fresh fava beans are certainly a sign of the season. They pair well with artichokes, which are also coming into their own this time of year, and they make a fresh, hearty addition to spring soups, risottos and ragouts. For an Italian twist, serve cooked peeled favas, sprinkled with olive oil and sea salt, alongside slices of salami, prosciutto and pecorino. - To Prepare Favas - Fava beans need to be shelled (removed from their pods). To open the pods just pull on the stem at the top to unzip the string down either side of the pod, then gently push the pod open between your thumb and forefingers. Pop the beans out. Cook shelled beans in a large saucepan in plenty of boiling water until just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the bean. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool. Using the tip of a knife or your thumbnail, slit the translucent skin covering the bean, peel off and discard. Use the peeled cooked beans as appetizers, in salads or in recipes. - A Word of Caution - A very rare disease called favism, which affects some people of Mediterranean descent, causes a serious reaction to eating raw fava beans or breathing their pollen. The risk of eating cooked fava beans is small. Favomancy is a form of divination that used to be practiced by seers in Russia, and in particular, the Ubykh people. The practice involves throwing beans on the ground and interpreting the patterns in which the beans fall. Russian methods of favomancy may still exist; however, since the departure of the Ubykhs from the Caucasus in 1864, details of exactly how Ubykh soothsayers interpreted the patterns formed by the beans are lost. 1-888-ORGANIC (674-2642) www.DiamondOrganics.com info@diamondorganics.com Umbrian Fava Bean Stew This "Scafata" recipe is adapted from Antonella Santolini's "La Cucina Delle Regioni D'Italia: Umbria" (Edizioni Mida, 1988).
