Drain the beans & slip them outr of their skins. If the

bring to a simmer. Add the 2 ts salt, cover & cook for
20 to 25

Clean the broccoli rabe by peeling off any thick skin
covering the
larger stems & cut into 2" pieces. Rinse the greens well.
Bring the
water to a boil, add the greens & 1 tb salt, cover & cook
until the
greens are soft but not mushy, 5 minutes. Drain. Warm the
3 tb olive
oil in a skillet & slowly saute the garlic just enough
until it is
golden brown & soft. Do not let it brown. Add the
greens & swilr
them around in well flavoured oil. Serve on a platter,
spooning the
garlic infused greens over the favas.
