Lis bought fresh fava beans at Russo’s.  We were supposed to have them later in the week, but I was so excited at the prospect that we had to have them tonight.  Plus they go really well with beef.

Did you know that fava beans are the only old-world (European-native) bean?  The rest came from Asia (soy), Africa (black-eyed peas) or the Americas (most of the others).
