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. creme fraiche

Method

  • 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 creme fraiche, then stir in favas, season to taste with salt, and cook until favas are heated through, 1-2 minutes.
