Halibut and fava beans.
Two foods I don’t eat nearly enough of.
While fava beans, obviously, are not in season for long, whenever I do eat halibut I always ask myself: why don’t I eat this lovely fish more often?
The opportunity arose to enjoy both of these lovely foods when I saw a recipe in the April 2009 issue of Bon Appétit for Halibut on Mashed Fava Beans with Mint.
While I miscalculated slightly when buying the fava (I didn’t buy quite as much as I needed), this was a tremendously delicious dish. The halibut was light and smooth and the spicy fava bean mash was the perfect accompaniment.
Today is Victoria Day in Canada so it’s a national holiday. I’m off to enjoy the enjoy the day but before I go, here are some more entries from other foodbloggesr who have tackled that magazine pile!
Wandering Coyote of ReTorte made Beginners’ Bread from an old issue of Canadian Living.
Janie of Panini Girl made Fava Bean and Arugula Crosini from Gourmet.
Remember, if you have a magazine recipe that you’ve meaning to try, send me the link to your post and I’ll include in my Magazine Mondays round-up!
Have a great week, everyone!
Ciao!

It looks like I was not the only one busy shelling, blanching and mashing fava beans. Have a great week!

Oh, the halibut looks amazing! It’s my favourite fish!

No one ever does anything with Fava Beans, and I love them. They are hard to find sometimes around these parts. Some years the Farmer’s Markets have them, sometimes not.

Oh How I Wish I Could Have That for Dinner!! That looks grand.

A delicious dish! I love fava beans!
Cheers,

I cannot get fava beans here. Period. Only in a can. I am going to have to try to grown my own! The halibut loks fabulous and is one of my favorite fish. I made some last week. Some day I shall have to remember magazine Mondays again. It gets away from me. But I must say, when you cook from your magazines you have exceedingly good taste. A perfect meal. Enjoy the holiday!

I’m not familiar with fava beans. Let’s see what Uncle Google can tell me about them.
The fish looks lovely.

Hmmm…this is not your average little girl birthday cake, is it? Goodness. I’m a complete sucker for dots, though, and whenever I get a pastry bag in my hand with frosting in it, I’m making dots. Simply beautiful, Ivonne, parents’ teachings about modesty or not.

Ivonne, I must tell you that I’ve been obsessed with this recipe since you posted it. I finally made it last week (halibut was on sale!) but the weather was just too glorious to consider cooking fish indoors. I added a little olive oil to the lemon peel/mint/salt/red peppers, slathered the fish with it and threw it on the grill. It was extraordinary!
Likewise, I couldn’t bear to cook the fava beans to the point of mashing so, after peeling, I tossed then into the skillet olive oil, red pepper & salt. Yum!
Thanks for sharing these recipes!
