Time 20m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups sliced celery
1 1/2 cups leek rounds, white and light green parts only, washed well
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 cups frisee, washed and dried
1/4 cup finely grated pecorino cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add the beans. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Refresh the beans in ice water. Drain and peel the beans. You will have about 2 cups.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet. Over high heat, cook the celery and leeks for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally; the vegetables should retain some crispness. Add the yellow pepper and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the fava beans, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • To make the vinaigrette, place the lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining salt, fresh black pepper, garlic and remaining olive oil in a jar. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
  • To assemble the salad, pour the vinaigrette into a large bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, frisee and pecorino and toss lightly to coat evenly. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and serve immediately.

This salad looks delicious, but I'm not sure if I can find fava beans in my local grocery store.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The fava beans are earthy and nutty, the frisee is peppery and bitter, and the peppers are sweet and tangy. The pecorino cheese adds a nice salty touch.

This salad is a delightful medley of flavors and textures. The fava beans are soft and creamy, the frisee is crisp and peppery, and the peppers add a touch of sweetness and crunch. The pecorino cheese ties it all together with its salty, nutty flavor
