  • 250 grams split fava beans

  • Cover fava beans with water and bring to boil, simmer 30 mins until soft
  • Drain, and beat with wooden spoon until mushy but still with a little texture.
  • Add tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, herbs and chia seeds, to help bind together.
  • Leave in a covered bowl in the fridge until cold and thickened.
  • Mix it up with spoon or spatula and add half the parsley
  • Take half the mixture and form four flat escalope shapes, roughly oval
  • Mix the softened butter with crushed garlic and the remaining parsley
  • Form into four portions and place on top of the escalopes
  • Form a further four escalopes and place each on top of the butter and base, press the edges to make sure they are sealed. Return to the fridge for an hour.
  • Mix the flour with salt & pepper, coat each escalope with flour, then dip into beaten egg, then into panko breadcrumbs.
  • Preheat the Optimum HealthyFry
  • Cook two kievs at once in the Optimum HealthyFry Air Fryer at 180c for 20 min
  • Keep the kievs warm in the oven while the second batch is cooking

Notes

If you don't have an Air Fryer yet, then you could fry the kievs in a little oil or bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180C
