This delightful combination was a result of having enough leftover uncooked cod, aioli and cooked shelled favas for one person (me) the day after I’d made a fish soup for a dinner party. Now I think I might serve the improvised dish at my next dinner party.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Season the cod with salt and pepper. Place in a steamer over an inch of boiling water, cover and steam the cod for 5 minutes, or until it flakes easily. Remove from the heat.

  2. Step 2

    Warm the favas. If using whole fillets of fish, break them into smaller pieces and toss with the favas and aioli in a bowl. Serve right away. You can also serve the fish without breaking it up and the favas on the side, spooning on the aioli, but I like everything tossed together.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: The shelled, skinned favas will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.

Whole Foods has them unfrozen, shelled and skinned in air-tight packages in the packaged produce area — beside the sprouts, small packages of herbs etc. Really easy to use.

Used Lima beans as a substitute for Fava beans (could not find them at Whole Foods). Also made aioli from Mayo and roasted garlic. Overall, this recipes tastes as good as the aioli you add and has no other flavor
