Swiss Chard w/Fava Beans

Just because I haven't posted in a while doesn't mean the recipes need to stop coming, eh? I'll catch up with the posts later, but in the meantime, enjoy!

1/2 lb fava beans, shelled*
1 leek, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped
1/2 cup NSA chicken broth
Juice of one lemon
ground black pepper to taste

In a non-stick pan, sauté the fava beans, leek, garlic & rosemary in a splash of NSA chicken broth over medium heat. Cook until leek is soft and translucent (about 5 minutes), then add the Swiss chard along with the remaining broth. Saute until Swiss chard is done and most of the broth has evaporated (another 5-8 minutes). Toss with the juice of one lemon and top with freshly ground pepper.

*Fava beans can be substituted out for veggies such as broccoli rabe or kale, and those leftovers work well in the gourmet veggie omelette.
