Lemon Garlic Fava Beans & Mushrooms

Serves 2.

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 small red onion, cut into thin half moons
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh chopped Red Dog thyme
4 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced in half
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice and zest of 1/4 lemon
Lots of fresh black pepper
1.5 cups cooked Red Dog fava beans
Optional: Slivered Red Dog green onions for garnish

Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Saute onion in oil with a pinch of salt for 5 to 7 minutes, until slightly browned. Add garlic and thyme, and saute one minute. Add mushrooms and cook to release moisture, about 5 minutes.

Add bread crumbs, toss to coat everything and toast crumbs for 3 to 5 minutes. Add veg broth, black pepper, salt, lemon zest and juice and fava beans. Bring to a boil. Let reduce and thicken, 7 minutes or so. Taste for salt and seasoning and serve, topped with green onions.
