Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is a genius non-recipe recipe.

    First time preparing fava beans to be eaten raw. This is simple and absolutely delicious, with or without the salami. And elegant!

    A truly delicious salad. I agree with stockholm28 that the best part is the cheese, mint, and oil with the fava beans- and I would be tempted to do just that part of the salad next time.

    This was really good, although time consuming to prep. I particularly loved the combo of olive oil, mint, and manchego with the fresh, raw fava beans. Because shelling the beans is such a pain, I only made a small portion.

    NB: Joan from Chowhound says this is on her all-time greatest hits list. Must try!
