A great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and vitamins like folate and iron. Fresh fava beans need a bit of prep, boiling and peeling, but add wonderful depth and are well worth the effort. Frozen works too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quinoa<\/strong> \u2013 always rinse it thoroughly before cooking, this removes its natural bitter coating. This recipe uses the rice method, saut\u00e9ed briefly first for a nuttier flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cashews<\/strong> \u2013 roasted cashews are used here, but any nut you like works.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tips for Success:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rinse the quinoa well before cooking, don&#8217;t skip this step, it removes the natural coating that can make it taste bitter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saut\u00e9 the quinoa briefly in olive oil before adding water, this brings out its nutty aroma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With fresh fava beans, boil them briefly, then peel off the outer skin one by one to reveal the tender, creamy centers inside. This step takes a little time, but it transforms the beans, making them softer and sweeter than unpeeled ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the quinoa cool to room temperature before mixing everything together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\"
