How to Prepare Fava Beans
Like other dried legumes, fava beans need to soak overnight before use in your recipes. Start by rinsing the beans well. Place 1 pound of beans in a pot with enough cold water to cover by at least 3 inches. Soak overnight. To remove the bitter outer skin, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pre-soaked beans. Boil the beans for 10-15 minutes. Drain. Once they are cool enough to handle, squeeze each bean so it pops out of its skin.
