Instructions

  1. Take the fave beans out of their pod. In Italy it’s not common to take them out of their skins, even when they are thick. So I didn’t. Which makes this recipe super easy.
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters length wise. Then slice each quarter into 1/2 inch slices.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a pan large enough to hold everything. Add the rosemary and stir briefly, to let flavor the oil. Add the fave beans, season with salt and pepper, and stir. Cook for about 8 minutes.
  4. Add the potatoes, stir, and season again.
  5. Add about a half cup of water, stir and cover. Let cook for about 10 minutes, at medium heat, checking to make sure it’s not burning.
  6. After about 10 minutes start checking for doneness. Add more water if necessary. When they are just about done, and the water has evaporated, add the spring garlic and stir. Let cook for another few minutes and check for seasoning.

Notes

This dish is great served with grilled meats.
