Prepare the Fava Beans:
Start by cleaning the fresh fava beans. To do this, snap one end of the pod, and gently pull it apart to remove the seeds. Then, carefully peel off the tough outer skin of each fava bean—use a small knife if necessary for easier handling. -
Prepare the Zucchini:
Rinse the zucchini, trim both ends, and cut it into small cubes, about half a centimeter in size.

Chop the Parsley:
Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves. You can use a knife or, for an even finer chop, a mezzaluna if you have one. -
Sauté the Fava Beans and Zucchini:
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole garlic clove and sauté until it becomes aromatic and slightly golden. After a minute, add the fava beans to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. -
Add the Zucchini:
Toss in the diced zucchini and stir. Allow everything to cook together for a few more minutes until the zucchini is tender. -
Season the Dish:
Remove the pan from the heat. Add salt and black pepper to taste, then stir in the freshly chopped parsley. The herbs should infuse their flavors into the warm vegetables. -
Assemble and Serve:
Arrange your flatbreads (spianatine) on serving plates. Spoon the sautéed fava beans and zucchini mixture on top of the flatbreads. For a finishing touch, garnish with a small parsley leaf on each serving. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Your delicious spianatine with fava beans and sautéed zucchini are now ready to be served! These make for a wonderful appetizer at any gathering.
Tips:
- You can prepare the fava beans and zucchini mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Reheat it before serving.
- If you like a bit more texture, feel free to lightly toast the spianatine before topping with the vegetable mix.
Enjoy this light yet flavorful Mediterranean-inspired appetizer that highlights the beauty of fresh, seasonal ingredients!
