 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    8       oz           Dried fava beans, soaked
    2       ea           Celery ribs, chopped
    1       md           Onion, chopped
    2       ts           Salt
    2       tb           Fruity olive oil
   12       oz           Broccoli or rabe
      1/3   c            Water
    1       tb           Salt
    3       tb           Fruity olive oil
    2       ea           Garlic cloves, minced
 
   Drain the beans & slip them outr of their skins.  If
   the skins cling too tightly, boil them for 5 to 10
   minutes & then skin.  Put peeled beans in a pot with
   celery & onion.  Add just enough water to cover &
   bring to a simmer.  Add the 2 ts salt, cover & cook
   for 20 to 25 minutes or until the beans are very soft.
   Add more water if necessary.  Drain & place in a
   processor with the 2 tb olive oil. Clean the broccoli
   rabe by peeling off any thick skin covering the larger
   stems & cut into 2″ pieces.  Rinse the greens well.
   Bring the water to a boil, add the greens & 1 tb salt,
   cover & cook until the greens are soft but not mushy,
   5 minutes.  Drain. Warm the 3 tb olive oil in a
   skillet & slowly saute the garlic just enough until it
   is golden brown & soft.  Do not let it brown.  Add the
   greens & swilr them around in well flavoured oil.
   Serve on a platter, spooning the garlic infused greens
   over the favas.
