Fava Beans With Iberico Ham Recipe
Step 1: Add the fava beans to a pan of boiling salted water, bring back to a boil, and blanch for 2-3 minutes until only just tender. Drain in a colander and place under cold running water to refresh, then drain again.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the ham and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Add the onion and garlic and cook gently for 6-8 minutes until softened but not coloured.
Step 4: Tip the blanched fava beans into the skillet and toss over the heat for 2-3 minutes, seasoning well with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Transfer the fava beans and ham to a warm bowl, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and accompany with toasted slices of rustic bread.
