Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta or unsmoked bacon, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups shelled and peeled fresh fava beans
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 slices country bread, toasted
4 ounces pecorino cheese, shaved or grated (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat half the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add the favas, season with the salt and pepper, and cook until the beans are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the bread slices and toast in a 450°F oven for 5 to 6 minutes.
  • 4. With the back of a fork, mash the beans in the pan until the mixture is chunky.
  • 5. Spread the beans on the toasts and top with the pecorino, if desired.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and red pepper flakes. The fava beans were also a bit tough. I would probably try a different recipe next time.
