Young, tender fava beans work best for this preparation; you can pop them right out of the grilled pods and eat them without having to peel them first.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. fava beans in the pod
- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, halved
- 2 oz. Parmesan

Grill favas, turning occasionally, until charred and soft, about 6 minutes.
