Think of fava greens as fava-flavored spinach, with thicker leaves and a mildly sweet flavor and buttery texture. The leaves are more tender early in the season and can be eaten raw. Later in the season when the leaves are a bit heartier, sautéing or wilting may be the best way to use them.

Applications/Techniques

Treat fava greens as you would spinach or pea shoots. Mix them raw into salads or wilt them slightly by tossing them with a warm vinaigrette. Fava greens are an excellent addition to pastas, risottos, salads, and appetizers. Fava greens pair well with fish and seafood.

History
