1. Prepare Fava Beans
Blanch the fava beans in a pot of boiling water until their skins loosen, then quickly transfer them to ice water to stop the cooking process. Peel the beans.
2. Cook the Fava Beans
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat ½ cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Once warm, add the prepared fava beans, sliced garlic, a branch of rosemary, a pinch of salt, and ½ cup of water. Allow these ingredients to simmer slowly for about 15 minutes.
3. Mash and Season the Fava Beans
Once the beans are soft, remove the rosemary and mash the beans using a spoon or a food mill until they reach your desired consistency. Stir in an additional ¼ cup of extra-virgin olive oil for a richer taste and smoother texture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and add more water if necessary.
blanch in boiling water, then transfer to an ice bath before peeling off the tough outer skin for a smoother purée.
