Those bushels of fava beans always look so appealing at the Farmers’ Markets and often my shopping eyes are bigger than my block of time allotted for the tedious double shelling process needed to prepare these tasty morsels. Enter the Wood Stone oven! Crank it up 600, wash, season and roast the whole fava bean pods for 5 minutes, then serve to your guests “Edamame Style” for an easy appetizer. The beans pop out of the big pods easily and the outer skin becomes soft and edible. Mix up the flavor combinations: try olive oil, crushed garlic and rosemary or go with Asian flavors of sesame oil and chopped ginger. Be sure to finish with a high quality coarse salt such as Sel Gris or Himalayan Pink Salt.
