Fava Beans with Lamb & Rice

This is simply seasoned and a very delightful one pot meal.

1 lb. fava pods = approx. 3/4 cup beans

Olive Oil
1 pound ground lamb (or substitute ground beef)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp ground allspice
2 cups prepared fava beans (see below)
1 cup raw white basmati rice
2 cups water
1 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Fresh minced Cilantro to taste (optional)
  • Sauté onion in olive oil in a large pot.
  • Add ground lamb and brown well
  • Add rice, water, fava beans, salt and allspice
  • Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Cook about 20-30 minutes until rice is al denté and water has been absorbed.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed. Add black pepper and cilantro if using.

    Serves 4-6



    To prepare Fava beans Split open the pods and remove all the beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and drop in the beans. Boil for about 3 minutes, then remove to a bowl of cold water with ice. When beans have cooled enough to handle, using a paring knife or your thumbnail, split the outer skin at one end and press from the other end to pop out the fava bean.
