Fava Bean and Pecorino Salad

This recipe comes to us from chef and restaurateur Pino Luongo.

Ingredients

Serves 8

  • 4 pounds whole fava beans, shelled
  • 2 shallots, peeled and minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces baby lettuce, washed and spun dry
  • 2 ounces watercress, stems removed, washed, and spun dry
  • 3/4 pound Pecorino Toscano cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add favas to boiling water, and blanch 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath to stop cooking; drain. Peel and discard tough skins; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine shallots, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified.
  3. Arrange lettuce and watercress on a platter. Top with fava beans. Drizzle with vinaigrette, and sprinkle with cheese.
