FAVA BEAN CROSTINI WITH PECORINO + MINT
This Fava Bean Crostini with Pecorino + Mint is an easy and elegant spring appetizer or snack! Fresh Fava beans are usually only in season for a short time during late spring, and they can be a bit fussy to work with, but the labor of love is absolutely worth it. Creamy, lemony fava bean puree tops crispy toasted bread and finished with sharp, salty Pecorino cheese, and fresh mint. It's simple, seasonal and soo delicious.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water up to a boil, and add a generous amount of salt. Drop the shelled fava beans into the water and cook for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to a bowl of ice water, and once cool, carefully slip the beans out of their skins and place them in the bowl of a food processor and discard the skins.
- Add the salt, olive oil and lemon juice to the food processor and pulse until you achieve a slightly coarse puree. You can opt to leave it more chunky, or keep pureeing until very smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Spread each piece of toast with a generous amount of fava bean puree, then use a vegetable peeler to shave thin slices of pecorino over the top. Sprinkle with lots of fresh mint, and serve immediately.

FAVA BEAN AND PECORINO CROSTINI
Fresh beans are readily available during the late summer months, and they are surprisingly easy to cook with. Simply shell the fava beans and cook them for three minutes in boiling, salted water, then transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to keep them from overcooking.

Steps:
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toast under the broiler until just golden, checking every minute to make sure the bread doesn't burn. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the fava beans for 3 minutes; transfer them immediately to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process.
- After they've cooled slightly, add the beans to the bowl of a food processor with the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, cider vinegar, and garlic. Turn the processor on and purée until the mixture is smooth. Add the pepper flakes and salt and pulse until fully combined.
- To assemble the crostini, spread the toasts generously with the fava bean mixture, then top with mint leaves and pecorino shavings. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the fava beans and blanch for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and place in an ice bath. Peel the skins off the favas; the beans will split into 2 bright green pieces as you pop them out of their skins.
- In a food processor, combine the peeled favas, pecorino, garlic, parsley/mint mixture, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and EVOO. Pulse into a thick spread. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Season with a little flaky sea salt.
- For the frico: mix the 2 cups of pecorino with a tablespoon of flour. Divide the mixture into small piles on a silpat-lined sheet tray. Place in oven until golden and melted together, about 10 minutes. Remove with a spatula.
- Slice your bread into thin slices. Drizzle with good olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Place in oven until crisp and golden. Serve the spread on the charred small toasts. Place a frico standing up on each crostini.
