Just reading those words above is making me salivate. Chef Pace from Taste of Pace is back again with another #TastyThursday recipe that sounds exotic, but extremely easy to make. Just in time for the 4th of July! Wanting something a little light and refreshing, this is a recipe you should try. “Chefs will use any excuse to use favas when they are in season, because like most spring ingredients, they are fleeting! Favas are laborious, to say the least but the smokey meaty taste and vibrant green color is well worth the tedium. This tart makes a great brunch dish- perfect with a fresh-squeezed grapefruit mimosa! ” – Chef Pace
