Warm Fava Bean Salad with Mint and Pancetta

From the Jessica MacMurray Blaine collection

Introduction

This salad is a flavorful accompaniment to lamb or basically anything off the grill — and if you’ve got vegetarians in your crew, it’s lovely without the pancetta, too.

Ingredients

Steps

1. Crisp up the pancetta in the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Before the oil starts to smoke, add the favas and briefly heat them through, stirring frequently so they don’t brown. Turn off the heat, stir in the mint, salt to taste, and serve immediately.
