Flava peas commonly known as broad peas or grains are types of legumes which were originally cultivated in large scale in the south western parts of Asia as well as the northern parts of Africa. Among other legumes these broad seeds were the commonly cultivated in these regions. Most of individuals lack the required knowledge on how to cook fava beans.

Some individuals opt to get rid of that skin layer when preparing them but some other individuals prefer the layer due to its taste flavor. One method of preparing these beans is by steaming them. If you opt to use this particular method then one should get rid of the outer shell.

When planning to prepare these legumes you need to know that they have three parts which are the green outer pod, the inner little green part as well as the greenish white outer coating. The coating of the bean is a little bit tough although this is dependent on the manner in which an individual might be using such beans. Some individuals prefer getting rid of that particular skin while other individuals prefer consuming these legumes with their skin.

Now you can easily get the lentils out of the pod by use of your fingers. Its worth noting that mature pods usually contains around four to about eight beans. Once you have your lentils you can now prepare your steamer. An individual needs to look for small saucepan which should be placed on a one inch container having boiling water.

This is basically viewed as a side salad together with the main course in all in one. When preparing these grains with stuffed chicken together with grapes and hazelnuts, one is supposed to deeply cut a pocket on the sides of the breasts of chicken or even the fish fillet, then stuff it with favas after which you can cook in the normal way.

After peeling you can transfer your legumes to a bowl containing cold water. Wait for your legumes to cool for several minutes so as to make the peeling a little bit easier. Once you are done with peeling then it implies the beans are almost ready for consumption.

You can add your legumes to stews, braises, casseroles, soups, salads or anything else you might prefer. In case you peel your legumes and then realize they basically are not tender as you had wished and your plan is to add them to a meal which does not have to be cooked you can cook them separately in a pot containing boiling water.

Another method which can be used to prepare these legumes is by grilling or probably roasting. The only sure method of going around in shelling these beans is by tossing the entire pods under a boiler or even onto the grill.
