Name: Fava Beans with Pecorino
Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients: 3 cups shelled fresh fava beans (from about 3 pounds pods) or frozen fava beans, thawed; Kosher salt; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar; 1 ounce Pecorino, shaved or coarsely grated; Freshly ground black pepper

This salad can be made with raw fav beans, as long as they're especially fresh. But blanching them quickly makes them much easier to peel.
