Fave e Cicorie (Fava Bean Puree with Wild Chicory)
One of the most traditional dishes I know of using wild plants. Fave e cicoria is a famous dish I typically see credited to Puglia, but similar things are made all over Southern Italy. *Every* Southern Italian cookbook I own has a version.
This one is very traditional except that instead of wild chicory, I use whatever wild cousin I can come across in MN and WI. In the video I'm cooking the young shoots of Lactuca biennis, but Lactuca canadensis is even better.

Cooking time: 45 minutes on medium heat.
Ingredients:
360g dried fava/broad beans,
1 medium onion,
1 small carrot,
1 tablespoon butter,
1920ml of water,
2 tablespoons lemon juice,
1 tablespoon sugar,

To grease the serving dish:

Tips for the perfect dish: For better results, make sure that the dried beans are not left for too long.
Cooking suggestions: If you enjoy aromatic flavours, add 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger to the bean mixture.
Preparation:
Chop one medium onion into chunks and roughly chop the carrots into chunks of about the same size.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan. Add the onions and sauté on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender. When the onions are sautéed, add the carrots. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then add the washed and drained dried beans.
Add the water to the pan. Then add the lemon juice, sugar and salt, and place the lid on the pan.
Cook the beans for about 35-40 minutes until the consistency is easy to blend. Then transfer all the ingredients to a blender and mix into a puree.
Grease a dish with sunflower oil and fill with the pureed bean mixture. Tidy up the surface of the mixture with a spatula, then leave to rest and cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Cut into segments and serve.
