Servings: persons

2 cups shelled fava beans (about 4 pounds unshelled)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into (1-inch) pieces
Cooking spray
6 lemon wedges (optional)
Fresh mint sprigs (optional)

1
Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
2
Cook fava beans in boiling water for 1 minute or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain. Remove tough outer skins from beans; discard skins.
3
Combine 3 tablespoons oil, rind, juice, chopped mint, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add fava beans to oil mixture; toss to coat.
4
Thread chicken evenly onto 12 (8-inch) skewers. Brush chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 8 minutes or until done, turning once. Serve with fava bean mixture. Garnish with lemon wedges and mint sprigs, if desired.
5
Wine note: I love to mirror the flavors of the fava beans, mint, lemon juice, and lemon rind in this dish with a wine that's crisp and has green flavors of its own. A New Zealand sauvignon blanc is just the ticket. Try Babich 2007 from Marlborough, New Zealand, about $ -Karen MacNeil
