Yield: serves 2-3
Ingredients:
1 pound of fava beans
a couple of glugs of olive oil
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
a good pinch of sea salt

1. Wash pods well then toss with oil, garlic, and salt in a large bowl
2. Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium high. Grill fava beans for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another couple of minutes.
