Braised Spring Vegetables
Slowly cooking young vegetables with olive oil brings out their natural sweetness. Prep and Cook Time: 1 hour. Notes: If you don't like fava beans or can't find them (check upscale grocery stores and farmers' markets), you can leave them out and double the amount of peas. Green garlic is very young, mild garlic, picked before the cloves have formed; it resembles a green onion. It's available in spring at farmers' markets, but if you can't find it, double the green onions.
