Instructions
To make these delectable Sfilati with Fava Puree and Pancetta, start by shelling the fava beans. Once shelled, set them aside. Finely chop the shallot and heat some extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the shallot and sauté for a few minutes until it becomes soft and fragrant. Then, add the fava beans to the pan. Cook them until they are tender, stirring occasionally.
Once the beans are tender, season them with salt and black pepper to taste. Transfer the fava beans to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée them, creating a smooth and creamy mixture. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Next, it’s time to prepare the Sfilati. Spread a layer of the fava puree onto each sfilato, leaving a couple of centimeters at one end of each so you can hold them easily. Once spread, wrap each sfilato with a slice of pancetta, again leaving the end free for handling.
Repeat this process with all the sfilati until they are all ready. Once done, your Sfilati with Fava Puree and Pancetta are prepared and ready to serve!
These simple yet flavorful appetizers combine the earthy sweetness of fava beans with the crispy saltiness of pancetta, making for a crowd-pleasing starter. Perfect for any gathering, these can be served warm or at room temperature, offering versatility and deliciousness with every bite.
