Recipe by Dave Muller and Lana Porcello Fava beans most likely require a trip to a farmers’ market and take a while to peel. Sugar snap peas cut into bite-size pieces are a fine alternative.

Ingredients

2 cups shelled fava beans (from about 2 pounds pods) Kosher salt 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill Freshly ground black pepper 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 1/2 Garlic-Herb Naan or 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, room temperature, halved 2 (8-ounce) balls burrata or fresh mozzarella, drained Basil leaves (for serving) 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds Flaky sea salt

Instructions

Cook fava beans in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Using a mesh sieve, transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water. Drain and peel. Combine lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. oil, and half of fava beans in a medium bowl and lightly mash with a fork. Stir in remaining fava beans; season with kosher salt and pepper. Combine cucumbers and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt. Let sit until slightly softened, 10 –12 minutes. Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off); lightly oil grate. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, gently stretch to about a 10x8" oval. Grill over direct heat, turning and rotating as needed, until bread is stiff and both sides are lightly charred, about 3 minutes total. Move to indirect heat to keep warm while you grill the remaining piece of dough. Transfer flatbreads to a work surface. Tear burrata into pieces and divide between flatbreads; top with fava bean mixture, cucumbers, and basil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, sea salt, and pepper.
