Artichoke Stew
1 1/2 cups fava beans (about 1.5 lb unshelled)
1 bay leaf
1 onion, half quartered, half diced, divided use
4 large artichokes, stems trimmed
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces guanciale (pancetta or bacon can work too), thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups peas
eggs (optional)
finely chopped parsley for garnish
Anchovy Aioli
1/2 cup mayo
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (or 1 fillet chopped)
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
1 small squirt Sriracha

1
Put 4 cups water in a big pot and bring to a boil. Have a bowl of ice water ready. Remove favas from pods, rinse well and add to water for about a minute. Remove with slotted spoon/strainer to ice water. Put quartered half onion and bay leaf in pot. If you have a steamer basket that fits in pot place it on top of onions. Otherwise, put artichokes directly on onions. Cover and steam until leaves are easy to remove. about 45-55 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, mix all aioli ingredients well. It is better once it has been sitting a while.
3
Once favas are cool, remove outer skins and set aside.
4
Remove artichokes and let cool, reserving 2 cups of liquid (top off with water if you don't have enough). Strain and season to taste with salt. Peel the dark green artichoke leaves arranging them on a plate with aioli to snack on while you assemble the rest of dinner.
5
With a paring knife, remove pale inner leaves and choke and cut hearts into slices or wedges.
6
Add 4 tablespoons oil to dutch oven or medium pot and cook guanciale (or pancetta) until just starting to brown and remove to a bowl. If using bacon, omit oil and cook in dry pot until almost brown and pour off all but 4 tablespoons fat. Cook diced onions in fat over medium heat until just starting to brown. Add garlic for a couple minutes. Return guanciale to pot and add reserved artichoke broth and simmer about 10 minutes. Add artichokes, favas and peas and simmer another 5 minutes. Adjust for salt and dish into bowls. Top with black pepper, parsley and a drizzle of high quality olive oil.
7
If you choose, you can serve a poached or fried egg on top with crusty bread on the side. We ate it as a side dish to grilled rib eye, which was wonderful with the aioil.
