Fava beans in the kitchen

It’s quite a production. And I’m doing it mostly myself. No fava bean party this year. But the deliciousness makes it all worthwhile.

I made pesto with half and froze half. The same amount is still in the garden, so I will do this operation over again in a few days.

Pesto ingredients:

  • Fava beans
  • Some dried cilantro that was left over from dinner last night
  • Aquafaba (bean water from chickpeas pressure-cooked earlier) to moisten
