This tasty Fava Beans with Jasmine recipe and photo were shared with me by Karen Calanchini, Food
Stylist and Photographer, of Redding, CA.
Karen says, "The season for Fava Beans is very short,
so if you see them at your local Farmer's Market or are growing them in your
garden, give this wonderful recipe a try. Be sure to take the time to get a
golden crust on the bottom of the rice. This dish is wonderful served with with
Grilled Roast Turkey Breast."
Fava Beans with Jasmine Rice Recipe
Recipe Type:
Vegetables,
Rice,
Fava Beans
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 30 min
Ingredients:
1 medium
onion, chopped
4
garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon (or more) olive oil
3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves (pull leaves off the stem; discard stem)
1/2 cups shelled Fava beans
1 cup Jasmine rice
1/2 teaspoon
salt
2 cups (plus more) homemade chicken stock or a good-quality store bought
Preparation:
 In a
large sauté pan or frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onion and
garlic until the onions begin to soften and the mixture is fragrant.
Reduce
heat to low and add the Fava beans, Jasmine rice, salt, and chicken
stock. Cook, with lid askew, until rice is tender.
Keep adding additional chicken stock, if
needed.
Once
the rice is tender,
reduce heat a little and continue to cook until a
golden crust forms on the bottom of the rice.
Watch carefully and don't let the rice burn.
Add small amounts of additional chicken stock
as necessary. You can use a spatula to check the bottom of
the rice. When it is golden, it will lift easily and hold together.
Makes 4 servings.
