Ingredients:





     8 oz Dried fava beans, soaked


     2    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    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.
