Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds unshelled fresh fava beans
1 red jalapeño pepper, seeded, veins removed, and finely chopped, or 1/4 finely chopped red bell pepper (or both, if you wish)
1 , finely chopped green onion
2 teaspoons fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 teaspoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce

Steps:

1. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the shelled fava beans until crisp-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Remove the thin outer skin by pinching the beans. The skins usually slip off quite easily. Put the peeled beans in a large bowl. 2. Add all of the remaining ingredients, except the lettuce. Toss to mix. Adjust the seasoning. Add the lettuce and toss again. Divide among 4 serving plates. Serve cold. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
