SOUTHERN ITALIAN SOUP OF DRIED FAVAS, POTATOES, CAULIFLOWER, AND



Southern Italian Soup of Dried Favas, Potatoes, Cauliflower, And image

****OH DEAR !! Zaar will not allow me to delete this recipe, but unless you crave BLAND and TASTELESS -- do NOT prepare it ! SO disappointing ! I added a garnish of real bacon, a handful of grated Parmesan, LOTS of S&P, and it STILL had no flavor ! SO sorry ! That's what I get for posting something I had not prepared ! I think no native Italian would serve this either . Need to find more recipes with dried Fava beans ! This from "Best of the Best Michigan Cookbook" sent to me by QueenBee for the August, '09 cookbook swap. "Served in Puglia, in south of Italy --outstanding example of impact of fine olive oil. Garnished w/additional olive oil which adds flavor, and fried pasta which adds texture." NOTE" Be sure to have SPLIT dried favas, not whole, or you will be cooking them for hours

WRINKLED POTATOES (PAPAS ARRUGADAS)



Wrinkled Potatoes (Papas Arrugadas) image

These rather dry little potatoes are served with almost every meal on the Canary Islands. They use a small potao with a light brown skin, but unless you have access to a specially market, use golf-ball size red or white new potatoes. Large grained sea salt is the secret. Serve with Mojo Rojo or Mojo Verde ( see recipes I've posted). Very simple recipe for beginner cook. From Eating Well.
