Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Saute onion in oil with a pinch of salt for 5 to 7 minutes, until slightly browned. Add garlic and thyme, and sauté one minute. Add mushrooms and cook to release moisture, about 5 minutes.

Add breadcrumbs, toss to coat everything and toast crumbs for 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth, black pepper, salt, lemon zest and juice and fava beans. Bring to a boil. Let reduce and thicken, 7 minutes or so. Taste for salt and seasoning and serve, topped with green onions.

Serve with wild rice, grilled tempeh (marinate in lemon, olive oil, garlic and thyme). Roasted cauliflower or broccoli.
