Fava Beans With Olive Oil, Pecorino And
Source of Recipe
Marla
Recipe Introduction
For a visually appealing presentation, top servings with very thin slices of pecorino,
an Italian cheese made from sheep's milk. The aged cheese is firm and dry; the flavor
is sharper than Parmesan. For convenience, make the salad using canned or frozen
fava beans, which are available in ethnic markets and many supermarkets.
Beans and ham are a classic combination in Spain, so if you like, add strips of
Spanish ham or prosciutto.
