I have some dried fava beans that I picked up at the farmer's market in early March. I'd really like to use them up but I'm not sure how to prepare them as I'm only familiar with prepping and preparing fresh favas. Do I still need to soak these overnight? Once I do so, can I assume the beans also need to have their thin skins removed? Obviously, this would be done after I par boil them, right? And then, can I use them like fresh? Any ideas/thoughts are much appreicated!
