Fave fritte
In Italia, di solito le fave secche vengono consumate nel minestrone oppure come contorno, ma le preferisco fritte come si fanno in Giappone.
1.
Mettere a mollo le fave secche per 4-5 ore.

2.
Scollarle bene.
[ATTENZIONE: le fave "esplodono" al momento di frittura se non sono state scollate bene]

3.
Friggerle nell'olio di temperatura media.
Quando le fave prendono il colore d'oro, scollarle bene sulla carta da cucina e salarle.

Buon appetito!
---------------------------------
I make fried broad beans almost always on the day after I cooked fried stuffs to use the oil before throwing it out.
In Italy, usually the dried broad beans are eaten in a soup or as an accompaniment, but I prefer them fried as they do in Japan.
1.
Soak the beans in cold water for 4-5 hours.
2.
Drain off the beans with the strainer.
[CAUTION: the beans will "blow up"in the hot oil if you don't drain them well]
3.
Fry the beans in medium temperature oil.
When they become gold, drain them off with a kitchen papar, then salt them.
Buon appetito!
