Young fava beans and pea shoots are at their peak in early spring. Fava, or broad beans, come in cushiony, fuzzy pods that must be removed before eating. Look for young fava with bright green pods. Peas shoots are the delicate sprigs of common pea plants that haven’t developed pods or flowers, so all the sweetness is in the leaves. They are delicious raw or stir-fried in a delicious Wilted Green Pea Salad. Enjoy them both.
