- The classic version of this dish calls for soaking dry fava beans overnight, then washing, blanching and refreshing minced chard leaves and sterns, all of that is a bit time-consuming for lunch on the run. Here's a quicker version which's nearly as good as the original.
- In soup pot, saute/fry garlic in oil over medium heat till aromatic and translucent/soft, about 2 min. Add in spinach, half of beans, tomatoes and half of stock; simmer till spinach is tender, about 10 min.
- In food processor, process spinach mix to desired consistency. Return mix to soup pot. Add in remaining fava beans and stock. Season with salt and pepper; heat through. When ready to serve, garnish with cheese or possibly oil.
