Ingredients
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 pounds fava beans, shelled
- 1/2 cup soft goat cheese (4 ounces)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water, plus more if needed
- 1 bunch radishes, halved if large
Directions
-
Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook fava beans until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath. Let cool. Drain, and peel beans.
-
Pulse beans, goat cheese, oil, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until just combined but still chunky, about 6 or 7 times. Stir in water. Add an additional tablespoon water if mixture is too thick. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Sprinkle with pepper just before serving. Serve with radishes.
Delicious! Beautiful! I made this as an appetizer the other day. I write a blog called "Snippets of Thyme" (rileymadel.blogspot.com) and I wrote a feature article about your spread. The colors are soft but with the pop of red in the radishes it all comes together for spring.
