You wouldn’t know it from the rainy weather, but spring has arrived and the Hollywood Farmer’s Market is a sight to behold with all its spring vegetables.
One of our favorite springtime dishes is Fava Bean Pasta. It is best made with young Fava Beans when they first appear in the market. They of course have to be double peeled. First you peel them from their pod (that is good for an hour). Secondly you blanch them in boiling water and then slip their skin off (another 45 minutes). It is best to NOT cut your fingernails before you work with them.
Bacon is my favorite seasoning, and the pasta sauce is made with lots of bacon. The recipe can be found in our blog of: April 30, 2008. Click the date to get the recipe.
Robert and Darryl had dropped some Sumo Oranges. They are all the rage this year. This is the first year they have been available. They are kind of an ugly orange, correct in color but a bit misshaped and pockmarked. But peel away the orange rind and there is a delicious fruit. We made a Salad featuring Dates, and slices of Sumo Oranges.
Yes, Spring is here!
