Dinner Tonight: Fava Beans With Grilled Zucchini And Homemade Garlicky Croutons Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the fava beans uncovered until the beans are just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to an bowl full of ice water to cool them quickly and set the color, then slip the beans from their skins and set aside.

2. 2

   In the meantime, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 clove of the minced garlic, the thyme, and a teaspoon of salt. Add the bread and toss to coat, then bake for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

3. 3

   Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them into strips, then drizzle with olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Heat a ridged grill pan (or a regular skillet will work) over high heat and grille or cook the zucchini for about 2 minutes/side, until cooked but not mushy. Allow to cool, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Toss the zucchini, fava beans, and mint with the remaining garlic, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to bowls and top with croutons and Parmesan cheese. Serve.
