Corn & Fava Bean Risotto

I've never eaten fava beans before so here's my first attempt at using them! Fava beans are legumes that are packed with nutrients. Just 1 cup contains 9g of fiber, 13g protein, 14% of your daily iron intake, and 6% of your daily calcium intake!

I wanted to make a dish that not only brought out the springtime vegetables but also was filling. This followed this risotto recipe -

Here are the fava beans: these fava beans had been stored for about a week which is why their ends are a bit brown.

One hour later...here are the beans after blanching them in boiling water and de-shelling them.

Voila!
