Recipe by Robin and Bruce
What’s your to-do list like? Hopefully it’s shorter and less
complicated than mine! Preparing to sell a 1988 “special needs” car (cheap!),
major planting projects in the garden, paying the usual monthly bills, and some
minor surgery that caused me to lose my appetite have slowed me down blog-wise,
particularly in the area of creating recipes. My apologies! The creative
(recipe) process can be unforgiving.
Mostly I’ve been stuck on fresh fava beans and strawberries,
which present opposite challenges. Favas are so odd, it is hard to know what to
do with them. My
proposed
Oven Roasted Fava Bean Appetizer, based upon a similar
Roasted
Chickpea Appetizer, failed. The favas didn’t get crispy like the chickpeas,
perhaps because of their greater surface area in contact with the cookie sheet.
They were slightly caramelized, and “interesting” at best. You don’t want to
know. Next recipe up: hummus made with favas. This is bound to work out better.
