ANNA STOCKWELL

Young, tender fava beans work best for this preparation; you can pop them right out of the grilled pods and eat them without having to peel them first.

Instructions

Step 1

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Put favas into a large bowl, drizzle with 3 tbsp. oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Grill favas, turning occasionally, until charred and soft, about 6 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer favas to a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze lemon juice over the top. Season with salt and, using a peeler, peel thin strips of Parmesan over the top of favas. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
