Fava Crostini

Throw the fava in a pan & cover with water & a little salt.

Bring to a boil & lower to a simmer.

Cook a couple of minutes until the fava are tender.

Drain.

Return the pan to the heat.

Pour in a couple glugs of olive oil and the garlic clove.

Fry the garlic until browned.

Then discard garlic.

Toss the fava into the pan & saute for a minute or two.

Then begin mashing with the back of a wooden spoon until you form a paste.

If you need to add a bit of water, do so.

Remove fava paste from heat & season with salt & pepper add a squeeze of lemon.

Toast slices of good bread & rub warm fava mixture & top with shaved parmesan.

You can drizzle a little really good quality extra virgin olive oil as well if you like.
