Favas with chopped Garlic and Onions4 cloves garlic, diced finely
2 Tbs olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 tsp each chopped fresh rosemary, sage and thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 lb blanched fava beans, removed from pod and shell (see "Fabulous Favas")
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Cook sauce until you can draw a spoon through it and it doesn't immediately fill inHeat oil over medium high heat in a stick saucepan. Add garlic and cook until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and herbs, reduce the heat to medium, and cook about 8 minutes until onion is golden. Add the chicken broth, and stir to remove brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until sauce is thick (you should be able to draw a spoon through the sauce and it doesn't immediately fill in the hole). Add the favas, cook for an additional 1 minutes, and then turn off the heat. Allow to rest for five minutes, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
Recipe Notes: For Vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth
