Ingredients
1 pound fresh, young fava beans (look for smaller, tender pods)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more for finishing
lemon wedges for garnish, optional
Preparation
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Heat a large skillet over a medium flame.
Toss the fava beans in the olive oil and salt. Once the skillet is hot, arrange the pods in a single layer in the pan. You will most likely need to work in batches.
Saute them for at least 7 minutes per side, leaving them undisturbed as they cook. Larger pods may need more time.
Using tongs, flip the pods and saute for another 5-7 minutes on the second side, again leaving undisturbed. Place sauteed pods in the oven to keep warm.
