Preparation
- Step 1
Remove the pods from the fava beans. If you like, peel their skins.
- Step 2
Put beans in top of a steamer and sprinkle them with thyme. Cook them until they are tender (this depends on their size and whether they are peeled, but it shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes).
- Step 3
Put the beans in a warm serving bowl, add the butter, salt and pepper and toss them. Serve immediately.

3/26: made with my fava beans which I steamed over lemon thyme & swirled in TJs feta spread-yummy
Used favas and thyme from my garden. Instead of butter, applied a little Fat Gold olive oil made in Oakland, Calif. Super delicious.
