CREMA DI FAVE CON FIORE SARDO

Fiore Sardo Cheese with Fava Beans Cream

How to make the Fiore Sardo Cheese with Fava Beans Cream:

Boil the fava beans in abundant water. Mince the shallot and brown in a pan.

Drain the fava beans "al dente" and add to the shallots. Brown for a minute and then add the 2 cups of the vegetable broth. Once the broth has evaporated, add half of the heavy cream. Salt and pepper to taste. If the fava beans dry up, add more broth.

Cut the Fiore Sardo cheese into thin slices. Remove the fava beans from the pan with a slotted spoon. Drain the cooking broth in a sieve. Put the broth back in the pan and add the remaining cream. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly, further reducing the sauce.

Spoon the sauce in 1 or 4 oven proof dishes, then the fava beans, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the slices of Fiore Sardo cheese on top, and put under a broiler for several minutes until the cheese browns. Serve with Carasau bread.
