Melinda's Italian Style Frittata

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

I don't use any cheese in this, but you could add 1 cup grated melting cheese to the egg mixture and dust top with grated hard cheese such as parmesan, romano or dry jack.

2 cups prepared fava beans (see below)
5 large eggs
2-3 tbl water
1/2 lb. hot italian sausage, removed from casing and crumbled
1 cup quartered artichoke hearts
3/4 cup fresh parsley, divided
1 tsp grated lemon zest
Kosher salt
Black Pepper
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 375º
In an ovenproof skillet, brown sausage until thoroughly cooked through
Add fava beans and 1/2 tsp salt - cook about 4-5 minutes
Add artichoke hearts, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature
Beat eggs, water, 1/2 cup parsley and lemon zest
Taste sausage mixture for seasoning - add additional salt and pepper if needed
Add cooled sausage mixture to egg mixture and mix
Pour into an oiled baking dish
Bake for approximately 35-45 minutes until lightly browned around the edges, and center jiggles slightly
Remove from oven and allow to stand about 10-15 minutes
Sprinkle remaining parsley over top and serve warm or at room temperature

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.
