    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.
