Recipe: Marinated Fava Beans

Ingredients

4 tablespoons red wine vinegar or white balsamic
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
2-3 tablespoons fresh tender herbs (e.g., parsley, dill, mint, tarragon, basil, cilantro, oregano)
1 zest lemon
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
pinch chili flakes (optional)
½ teaspoon whole spice seeds (optional, e.g., coriander, mustard, caraway, cumin)

Bring salted water to a boil and blanch the shelled fava beans for about 3 minutes until bright green.
Drain the beans and rinse them under ice-cold water.
Optionally, peel off the second skin from the beans.
In a jar, combine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper, and shake to mix.
Add the fava beans to the jar, shake to coat, and refrigerate until ready to use.
To preserve, ensure the beans are submerged in the marinade, adding more oil and vinegar as needed.
