them.

Remove fava beans from pods. Bring one quart water to a boil. Add
beans to boiling water and simmer two minutes. Remove beans with a
slotted spoon and transfer to a cold water bath. This will loosen
their tough outer skins. Using a small paring knife, carefully peel
skins from beans.

loosens, about 30 seconds. Transfer tomatoes to a cold water bath.
Peel tomatoes, remove seeds and chop into small pieces.
