Buttered Beans and Potatoes

Adapted from Hollygrove Market and Farm, serves 4
Date made: 4/19/2011


3-4 red skinned potatoes, diced*
1 lb fresh fava beans, shelled*
1/4 c butter
1 c vegetable stock
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Bring diced potatoes to a boil.  Cook until fork-tender.
In a small saucepan melt butter. Add fresh beans/peas and cook for 5 mins.
Add chicke stock, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring beans to a simmer.
Cook till beans/peas are done 10-15 minutes. Add potatoes.


Another vegetable I've never heard of! (Fava beans)  I definitely would cut back on the butter next time -- a 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) is plenty!
