Split favas. Take fava beans, well split, cleaned and picked over and rinsed, and let them boil in a pot; and, the cooking water thrown away, was them very well, and put them in another pot with a little water and salt, so that they are just covered with the water, and stir them often with a mixing spoon: and, when they are cooked and thickened, mash them thoroughly with the mixing spoon. Then dilute them with a bit of added water, and put them on plates, and put honey on the plates, or oil fried with onions instead, or fried lard instead.
