WARM FAVA BEAN & PEA SALAD
This is a springtime staple in my house; my mom has been making it forever. I know that when the favas are at the market I can always find this refreshing and tasty salad in her fridge! If fresh favas or peas are not available, frozen is fine - but if you use frozen favas, be sure to take off the tough outer skin. -Francesca Ferenczi, New York, New York.
