Description
A traditional Sardinian dish from the humble, peasant cuisine, fava beans Sassari-style, or “fave a ribisari”, can be served either as an appetizer or as a side dish.
By planning ahead, you can prepare them the day before and let them rest overnight: the dressing made with parsley, olive oil, garlic, and chili will make them flavorful and irresistible.
If you want to cut the preparation time in half, you can use pre-cooked fava beans instead of fresh ones to shell — just drain them from their preserving liquid and rinse them well before seasoning.
