Learn how to peel and cook the fava beans. I have made an easy guide on how to peel and cook them by using the famous blanching method. You can find the steps below. Enjoy!
First of all you want to remove the fava beans from the pod. Start with using a knife and make a cut lengthwise. Use your fingers to open the pod and start removing the beans.
Fill a medium sized saucepan with cold water. Add 5 grams of salt to the water. Make sure the saucepan is on a medium-high heat.
When the water is boiling its time to start adding the beans. Cook the beans between 3 to 5 minutes.
When the time is up, you need a colander. Put the beans in the colander and drain the remaining water. Add a bowl with ice cold water and keep the beans in for 3-5 minutes.
After the time in the cold water, it’s time to pop out the beans from their skin. Just start peeling with your fingers.
After peeling the skin, it’s time to eat! You can add them in every dish you want. For example a soup or a healthy wrap! Or use the beans as a side dish
