Tonight we went to a new restaurant for us in Trastevere where I discovered a fabulous new food combination. Fava beans with pecorino cheese. Picture this. A huge plate of enormous fava bean pods plunked down in the middle of the table looking like edamame on steroids. You eat them the same way, slitting open the pods and popping the raw fava beans into your mouth but this time accompanied by a bite of pecorino cheese. Highly recommended. I ate so many!
In addition, we ordered another new favorite—puntarella, a Roman seasonal specialty of crisp chopped chicory hearts dressed in a pungent anchovy and oil sauce. Incredibly fresh tasting.
