Habas
Our current food obsession: fava beans. We usually just: shell-steam-eat as is
or shelled & peeled with finely minced onion, lime juice, olive oil, sea salt & pepper.
It's a family affair :)

y las flores de las matas de habas son tan bonitas y huelen delicioso!!
love them too!
funny, i've never seen them this way. just like peas. who knew?
lucky you!
I love to grow these here in Scotland, assuming they are what we would call broad beans? YUM!
Delicious! I first tasted these in a restaurant in Valencia with olive oil, sea salt and garlic; they make the best summer food. Thanks for the tip, I'm looking forward to trying them your way :)
They look yummy! And its a very meditative job too.
isn't it nice to all sit around the table and do such things together? These beans are of my favorites as well....Unfortunately the season is very short here and much later than in Mexico.
I often prepare them mixed with small snippets of fried bacon...will try the version you metioned when the season comes around!
son tan ricas las habas!!!! con lechuga...mmm...ñam ñam.....se me hace agua la boca!!!!
food that takes time to prepare tastes different doesn't it
We love fava beans too. Mine are almost ready to come out of the garden. They never make it to the steamer. We eat them as fast as I can pick them. Enjoy.
In my home land (southern Italy) people use to let them dry and eat them as a puree ... on the net I found this as an example of the recipe

Ciao from vince, an italian fan of your blog
Here in the Netherlands we call them "fat beans" and as a kid I had to peel them a lot. I don't know how you call it but we put them in glass jars and stored them for winter. (it sounds like I'm very old?) I think they are delicious. Hugzz..Peebee
They look like what we call Broadbeans. I have some in my garden at the moment. Did you know if you pick them small you can eat the pod too? Yum!
J adore ça, mais moi c est crues avace des fines tranches de saucisson une petite tranche de pain de campagne beurrée. Un véritable délice ...... Désolé pour se commentaire en français mais malheureusement mon anglais est trop imparfait .....
i really admire you paintings, the birds and also the bejewelled lizard...all of them, i mean...lots of detailings and lots of hard work . i've started my design blog, hope you like it too.
every time i hear the word fava beans i think of the movie silence of the lambs. it's fun to finally see what they look like!!
blerg! não gosto nada de favas!
Mas tinha uma tradição semelhante com ervilhas (peas) - que são bem mais gostosas!
Peço desculpa por escrever em português... mas é tão parecido com o espanhol, e a preguiça (para escrever em inglês) acabou por falar mais alto!
Espero que perceba tudo!
que rico!
Here is my family recipy: Hot pan, sea salt, one spoon of olive oil and cook them till they are crunchy. (aprox. half an hour) you won't regret it.
Ay! como me recuerda mi infancia cuando nos poniamos asi a pelar habas en familia, luego mi padre les hacia un cortecito una vez ya quitadas de la vaina y a la ensalada.
