Beer nerd alert: Saison-Brett, a popular limited release beer from Boulevard Brewing Company’s Smokestack Series, starts hitting local bar taps Monday and store shelves on Tuesday.
\n\nThe dry-hopped beer is loosely based on the Kansas City brewery’s Tank 7 farmhouse ale. Saison-Brett is bottle conditioned with wild Brettanomyces yeast that imparts a spicy, earthy flavor. The beer is aged for three months before its release, but according to Boulevard, further “cellaring” will enhance the earthy flavor of the wild yeast.
\n\nSaison Brett is one of Boulevard’s most popular limited releases. The beer has a 100 percent score on ratebeer.com and a 96 percent (world-class) rating on Beer Advocate.
\n\nIn the next couple weeks Boulevard will switch up the experimental “tasting room beers” in its Sample Twelve packs for spring. Mid-Coast IPA and Westside Rye will be replaced by a traditional ESB, or Extra Special Bitter and Ginger-Lemon Radler, made by adding lemon and ginger juice to Unfiltered Wheat. The two new brews will also be available in the brewery’s taproom.
\n\nRegular Unfiltered Wheat and Single-Wide IPA will round out the new Sample Twelve packs.
\n\nNext up in the Smokestack Series: Love Child No. 4, a funky barrel-aged sour beer, should be out later this month or early in June.
\n\nIn other brew news, Leawood’s Rye restaurant has a local beer dinner coming up on May 13, right at the start of American Craft Beer Week.

\n\nIn winter, there are Christmas presents ripped open and devoured. Summer has its Father’s Day tie box and bottle rockets bought in shady tents on the side of the highway. Autumn brings the sugar highs and lows after children open their Halloween candy.
\n\nBut spring is different, as it brings gifts from the ground in a steady succession, some their own little packages just waiting to be opened. That’s where fava beans come in.
\n\nFava beans, which go by aliases like broad beans, are those green prizes of early to mid-spring that usher in the prime time of the season’s produce. You’ll recognize them as those large, light green puffy pods at the market that look like a hybrid of a green bean and snap pea on steroids.
\n\nWhen buying, look for exterior pods with a soft, velvety surface that open up to reveal around four to seven pale green, ovular shaped, flat beans.
\n\nSimilar to fellow pod packaged vegetables like peas, the beans are attached at the top to the pod but are easily popped off. That is where the easy part ends, and the debate begins.
\n\nThe individual fava beans have an outer shell, or skin, to them. Many recipes call for fava beans not only to be removed from their pod, but also for the bean to be peeled additionally, which can be done by briefly blanching, shocking in ice water and then peeling.
\n\nBut is that really necessary? Many countries around the world feature the unpeeled fava in dishes, while often in America you will see recipes requiring the extra steps.
\n\nAs with many things, I think the truth is somewhere in between. My rule is with younger fava beans in spring, peeling isn’t needed most times.
\n\nThe older they get though, the thicker the peel becomes and can take away from the delicate flavor that makes favas so unique. So use your discretion or simply follow recipe directions.
\n\nThere are several ways you cook fava beans, fresh or dried. The fresh variety can be found in spring and early summer, while the dried variety are available year round. Young spring favas can be blanched, sautéed, steamed or even raw.
\n\nOne fun method to cook favas is oiling the whole pod and grilling for to get a nice char on the outside. This adds a smoky flavor while keeping the insides moist as they steam inside the pod.
\n\nToss with some flaky sea salt and more olive oil, or a favorite seasoning and it’s a great but slightly messy group snack, like peanuts at a baseball game.
\n\nSome other ideas for using fresh fava beans:
\n\n• Sautéed with bacon, garlic, vegetables, tossed with pasta.\n Bacon, Fava Bean and Sunchoke Orechiette with Pickled Mustard Seed Sauce\n
\n\n\n Makes 4 servings\n
\n\nAny smaller pastas like rigatoni, penne, fussili etc. could be substituted for the orechiette here. Other seasonal vegetables or greens like kale or dandelion would go well with the rich flavors in the dish. Remember to leave the pasta slightly under al dente, as it will continue to cook as the dish is finished in the pan. Reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water, adding it to the pan as necessary to create a sauce.
\n\n1 pound orechiette pasta, fresh or dried
\n\n1/2 pound thick cut bacon, cut into lardons
\n\n2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
\n\n2 pound fresh fava beans, removed from pod
\n\n2 medium to large sunchokes, shaved thin
\n\n2 cups Savoy or Napa cabbage, sliced thinly
\n\n4 tablespoons pickled mustard seeds, or 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
\n\n1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
\n\nGrated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino cheese, optional
\n\nFresh ground black pepper to taste
\n\nBring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orechiette until slightly under al dente. In a large skillet, cook bacon lardons over medium low heat until crisp and fat has rendered.
\n\nRemove and reserve all but 3 tablespoons of bacon fat, then raise heat to medium high. Add garlic and fava beans, until both have browned a bit, 1-2 minutes, then add cooked orechiette and some pasta water to pan, along with the cabbage, raw sunchokes, bacon, rosemary and pickled mustard seed.
\n\nToss through to bring ingredients together, adding pasta water if dish is too dry. Serve in bowls and finish with a grind of black pepper, a bit of olive oil and the grated cheese, if using.
