[Sca-cooks] Uses for fava beans....

[David Friedman]

>In my quest for good winter comfort food, I strapped on the ole' snowshoes

>In the same aisle with said peas (they didn't have yellow ones, so I settled

>thumb, and are sort of a medium golden color.
>I'd like to try some experiments with them, but the only period recipe that
>I'm remembering right now is the "Beans Y-Fried" recipe (with fresh

Fuliyyah isn't bad--it's in the Miscellany. We have several other 
fava bean recipes, but accept for Makke and the one you mentioned 
they use fresh favas.
