One more asparagus recipe before I head off to London, we enjoyed this last night complimented with a piece of grilled Monk Fish, this recipe is taken from Sophie Dahls Voluptuous Delights book, I altered it slightly for a more generous portions.

S&P
1/2 cup of pecorino or parmesan chesse,shaved.

Put the fava in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
