Sadly I don't have one as I have actually never made it. However, my aunt's husband made a rockin' veggie paella that had fava beans in it. My guess is that you could modify any standard paella recipe to be vegetarian and include the fava beans.

treat them like edamame.

or toss them with some bow tie pasta, some crispy bites of asparagus, butter and parmesan cheese.

My favorite way to eat them is to baste them with olive oil and salt, then grill them in the pods. After they've started to char, pop out the beans, slip them out of the casings, and eat with a bit of salt.

Yum! I just bought some at the farmer's market this weekend, myself. :)

I suggest you roast them with a firebot.
