I had this dish at a local Latin Restaurant here in town and loved it, so as I am apt to do I went home and started trying out the recipe at home and came up with this little doozy. I love the Manchego cheese, which is salty with the nutty flavor of the Beans. The mix of herbs just adds another layer of flavor. Recently a blog that I follow the Pyjama Gardner posted about her growing Magic Beans and how she is not a fan of eating the Fava Beans, it made me think of this recipe and how delicious it is, even someone who is not a fan of these little nutty Beans would learn to love them in this recipe!
- 2 cups Fava Beans (thawed)
- 1/2 cup cubed Manchego Cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic, sliced
- Zest of One Lemon
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped Rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped Thyme
- Salt & Pepper
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and let sit at room temperature for about an hour or longer.
Serve on sliced bread, or crackers.
