Quick Garlicky Sautéed Fava Beans

Ingredients (2–3 servings):

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen fava beans (shelled)

  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon, chili flakes, or chopped parsley


Instructions:

  1. Blanch beans (if frozen or fresh): Boil in salted water for 2–3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain.

  2. Sauté garlic: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn!).

  3. Add beans: Toss in the fava beans and sauté for 3–5 minutes until heated through and lightly golden in spots.

  4. Season: Add salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes. Stir well.

  5. Finish: Remove from heat, drizzle with a little lemon juice, and sprinkle parsley if desired. Serve warm.


Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a small pinch of cumin or smoked paprika while sautéing.

  • Works great as a side dish, salad topper, or healthy snack.
