The original recipe wants dry fava beans, but I could not resist to the spring and I used fresh ones: so arm yourself with patience and start to peel!
400 grams of fresh fava beans
400 gr of wild chicory
1 clove of garlic
3 spring onions
Chili pepper
White wine
In a pan with extra virgin olive oil, put fresh onions cut into strips, saute’ slightly and add the shelled beans. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about half an hour, adding hald glass of hite wine and hot water if needed. Blanch the chicory in salted water, when it is cooked, drain and squeez. In a skillet with oil fry the garlic and saute’ the chicory, adding salt. Ready to bring to the table: blend half beans, create a nest with the chicory and put , in the center, the mashed beans, and whole beans to the side. In this case I added the Norcia ham, but also suggested with marinated anchovies.

La primavera …che stagione meravigliosa! E sono arrivate le fave fresche che ieri ho cucinato con i carciofi e la cicoria di campo!
Ingredienti: (4 persone)
300 gr. di carciofi
300 gr. di fave fresche sgusciate
100 gr. di pancetta a dadini
un ciuffo di cicoria di campo
una cipolla
uno spicchio di aglio
vino bianco
sale
peperoncino
prezzemolo
erba cipollina
un pomodoro fresco
In una padella con olio di oliva, mettiamo la cipolla e l’aglio tagliati sottili e lasciamo imbiondire. Aggiungiamo le fave fresche ed i carciofi tagliati sottilissimi (ricordate
di essere generose nella pulizia dei carciofi, facendo attenzione a togliere tutte le foglie esterne che sono dure). Allundate con un bicchiere di vino bianco e cominciare la cottura a fuoco lento. Dopo circa 10 minuti aggiungete la cicioria tagliata a pezzettini e il pomodoro (anche lui tagliato in pezzetti piccolissimi) il prezzemolo e l’arba cipollina, il sale e il peperoncino, e continuare la cottura per circa 30 minuti, allungando con acqua calda. In una padellina fate soffriggere la pancetta a dadini. Io l’aggiuungo solo al momento di servire perchè mi piace croccante.
