There are so many ways to enjoy these fresh green beans, so closely associated with the taste of spring and early summer – here are just a dozen to get you started. Try Fava Bean and Dill Meatballs, Fava Bean Crostini, or Broad Beans, Peas and Fennel Tagine. Fava/broad beans are in season in the Northern Hemisphere from May until the end of summer, and are at their tender best early in the season.
