Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups canned fava beans or 2 cups frozen fava beans
3/4 lb kale or 3/4 lb mustard greens, your choice

Steps:

  • If using frozen check that they are already cooked, if not follow instructions.
  • Canned are ready as is, drained.
  • Coursely mash the fava beans.
  • I used a fork, you do not want to puree them just mash a bit.
  • If using Collards for the greens pre boil for 20 minutes, squeeze when cooked to get as much moisture out as possible, coarsely chop.
  • With other greens wash them and allow the water to cling to the leaves.
