Greek-Style Fava Beans with Dill

Greek-Style Fava Beans with Dill

2 pounds fresh Red Dog Farm fava beans
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chipped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Red Dog Farm dill
¼ teaspoon salt
Pinch pepper

Prepare the beans: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Shell the fava beans, discarding the pods. As the water boils drop in the beans for 2 minutes until outer skin loosens. Drain and set aside until cool to touch. Pop the fava beans out of their skin and place them in a bowl.

Make the salad: In a saucepan heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic until soft. Add the fava beans and cook 2-3 minutes. Add enough water to just cover beans. Stir in dill, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, 10 minutes or until beans are tender. Remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has been absorbed.
