Steps:
- Blanch the fava beans in boiling water until soft, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool. Slip the skins off the beans and place in a food processor. Puree. Add the broth, cream, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Scrape into a saucepan and warm gently over low heat.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shiitakes and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- Brush the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over a large cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Place in the skillet and sear until browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute a side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mound about 1/3 cup of fava bean puree onto the centers of 8 plates. Top with scallops. Scatter the mushrooms over the scallops and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
