Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
1 cup nonfat buttermilk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound unshelled fava beans (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

Place potatoes in a small stockpot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high, and gently boil until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain in a colander. Using a towel to hold the potatoes, peel while still hot. Pass them through a potato ricer or a food mill into the top of a double boiler or a large heatproof bowl. Meanwhile, fill a small stockpot or bottom of a double boiler about a quarter of the way, and bring to a simmer.
To the riced potatoes add the buttermilk, butter, salt, and pepper; mix well to combine. Cover the bowl, and place over simmering water to keep warm.
Meanwhile, split fava-bean pods lengthwise with your fingers, and remove beans. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, and add beans. Cook until beans are very tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Peel one end of each bean, squeeze gently to pop bean from skin; discard skins. Roughly mash half the beans, and stir into potatoes. Serve immediately garnished with the remaining whole fava beans.

INDIAN STYLE FAVA BEANS AND POTATOES

Indian Style Fava Beans and Potatoes image

I made this recipe up trying to think of something new to do with fava beans. It was a big hit in the family and is a good way to deal with the bitterness fava beans can have. Can be eaten with a chapatti or just as is. Prep time assumes favas are already shelled.

Tips:

For the perfect canapés, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for plump, bright-green fava beans, creamy gorgonzola cheese, and firm purple potatoes.
Be careful not to overcook the fava beans. They should be tender but still have a slight bite.
If you can't find purple potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes instead.
To make the canapés ahead of time, assemble them and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Before serving, bring them to room temperature for 30 minutes.

These gorgonzola, fava bean, and purple potato canapés are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
