Fava Beans with Ham

• 2 lb 2oz (900g) fresh fava beans, removed from their pods
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 7 oz (200g) Serrano ham or prosciutto, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock

1. In a saucepan of lightly salted, boiling water, cook the beans until the skins loosen, about 2 minutes.
2. Drain and rinse under cold running water.
3. Slip off the skins.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
5. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, about 4 minutes, or until translucent.
6. Add the ham and garlic, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for about 2 minutes more, or until the ham begins to brown.
7. Add the beans and the wine.
8. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is almost completely reduced, about 8 minutes.
9. Stir in the stock and simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, until the stock is reduced by half.
10. Serve hot.
