Fava Beans... it's what's for dinner!

Ok, we will probably have this for lunch and not for dinner since A&R gave us their extra beans and we are eating lunch with them, but I finally got around to cooking the fresh fava beans from the CSA (Community Sponsored Agriculture). They are VERY green (the ones in the photo are shelled, but still in their skin) and I might have over cooked them a tiny bit (It was only for 3 minutes! But they seem a little mushier than I would have wanted them to be), so I don't want to cook them any longer. That means frying with garlic and onions, which was my plan for them is out. I think I try and make this instead (it will also use some of the over abundance of cucumbers): http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fava-Bean-Salad/Detail.aspx
I am sure I will make some changes, but I will let you know how it turns out.
