favas
Mediterranean legume variety
Favas are fava beans—large, flat legumes with a slightly bitter, earthy flavor.
They grow in thick pods and require shelling and often skinning before eating.
Common in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines: favas with pecorino and mint, mashed favas on toast.
Also called broad beans.
