Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds fava beans (in their pods)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Remove the pods from the fava beans. If you like, peel their skins.
  • Put beans in top of a steamer and sprinkle them with thyme. Cook them until they are tender (this depends on their size and whether they are peeled, but it shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes).
  • Put the beans in a warm serving bowl, add the butter, salt and pepper and toss them. Serve immediately.

Worst fava beans I've ever had. Avoid this recipe at all costs!

I would not recommend this recipe. The beans were tasteless and the thyme did nothing to improve the flavor.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The beans were a bit tough and the thyme was overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
