Ingredients

3 lbs. small fresh fava beans in the pod

Salt, to taste

3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

12-15 fresh medium morels, cleaned and halved or quartered lengthwise

1 tbsp. crème fraîche

Preparation

  1. Remove fava beans from pods (don’t peel favas) and rinse under cold running water. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

  2. Add favas to boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft, 5-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add morels and gently cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3-4 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche, then stir in favas, season to taste with salt, and cook until favas are heated through, 1-2 minutes.
