Fricassée of Beef and Fava BeansPORNCHAI MITTONGTARE

A fusion of flavors and technique from two cuisines makes this main course taste new. The cooking method is based on an Italian fricassea made with egg yolks and cream; the combination of favas and mint is Middle Eastern. The resulting dish is absolutely delicious. Serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

Market tip:

Fresh fava beans are available at Middle Eastern markets, some farmers' markets, and some supermarkets. Frozen double-peeled fava beans are sold at Middle Eastern markets; they don't require blanching before using in this recipe. If available, fresh lima beans can also be substituted.
