--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8       oz           Dried fava beans, soaked
   2       ea           Celery ribs, chopped
   1       md           Onion, chopped
   2       ts           Salt
   2       tb           Fruity olive oil
  12       oz           Broccoli or rabe
     1/3   c            Water
   1       tb           Salt
   3       tb           Fruity olive oil
   2       ea           Garlic cloves, minced

  Drain the beans & slip them outr of their skins.  If
  the skins cling too tightly, boil them for 5 to 10
  minutes & then skin.  Put peeled beans in a pot with
  celery & onion.  Add just enough water to cover &
  bring to a simmer.  Add the 2 ts salt, cover & cook
  for 20 to 25 minutes or until the beans are very soft.
  Add more water if necessary.  Drain & place in a
  processor with the 2 tb olive oil. 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.
