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.
