One great way to enjoy fava beans is in this healthy spring inspired fresh fava bean and parmesan salad, which is tossed lightly with a little olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Simple, but oh so good!
One pound of fava beans sounds like a lot for two, but favas have giant, puffy pods so most of that is pod not bean. You will get two smallish servings from a pound of pods.
