How to Shell Fava Beans

By Molly Watson, About.com Guide

Fully shelled fava beans are bright, emerald green with an amazingly tender texture. You now need to repeat with the remaining beans. Then you can make all sorts of goodies. A few of my favorites include:

• Marinated Fava Beans
• Fava Bean Purée
• Fava Pecorino Salad
• Sautéed Fava Beans
• Spring Vegetable Risotto
