Tony's Trending Recipe: Fava Bean Pizza
Author: 
Recipe type: pizza
 
Ingredients
  • 12- to 13-ounce dough ball
  • 7 ounces whole milk mozzarella
  • 18 fava beans (peeled)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet white balsamic vinegar
  • 6 slices smoked pancetta or bacon
  • EVOO
  • Salt & pepper
  • Shaved Parmesan
  • Lemon squeeze
  • Lemon rind
Instructions
  1. Shape and stretch dough into a 12- to 13-inch circle.
  2. Add mozzarella, leaving a ½ inch border from the rim of your pizza.
  3. Add pancetta or bacon and place pizza into oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. While the pizza is cooking, prep fava beans like my example below.
  5. Boil fava beans for 2 to 3 minutes until the outer skin of the bean gets soft. You can also soak the beans for 30 minutes in warm water.
  6. Carefully take the skin off the beans. In a small sauté pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the beans in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Drizzle the sweet white vinegar and set your beans aside. Beans should be bright green in color.
  8. Take the pizza out of the oven and cut into six slices.
  9. Place the fava beans evenly over your pizza.
  10. Add shaved Parmesan, a light squeeze of lemon and fresh lemon rind.
