    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.
