Recipe by Ann Taylor Pittman This entrée is a delicious springtime one-dish meal. You can use 2 1/4 cups fresh shelled green peas in place of the favas, or a combination of both.

Ingredients

4 1/2 pounds unshelled fava beans (about 2 1/4 cups shelled) 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (about 1/2 cup) Cooking spray 2 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 2 cups water 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/2 cups chopped leek (about 2 medium) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 cups uncooked Arborio rice 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 1/3 cup dry white wine 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 cups trimmed arugula 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °. Remove beans from pods; discard pods. Cook beans in boiling water 1 minute. Remove beans with a slotted spoon. Plunge beans into ice water; drain. Remove tough outer skins from beans; discard skins. Set beans aside. Arrange prosciutto in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; bake at 400 ° for 7 minutes or until crisp. Set aside. Bring broth and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil); keep warm over low heat. Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add leek and garlic; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Add rice and thyme; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Add white wine; cook 1 minute or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total). Stir in beans, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in arugula and cheese. Top with prosciutto.
