| 1. Shuck the fava beans (remove them from the shells - most of the prep time for this recipe is during this step). | 2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. | 3. In a bowl, combine ice and tap water to make ice water; set aside. | 4. Add the shelled favas to the boiling water and let cook for about 3 minutes, then remove from saucepan and immediately plunge into the ice water to halt the cooking. | 5. Let the beans cool, then peel the outer skin from each of them; discard skins, set favas aside. | 6. Peel and cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces; cut the fennel bulb into 1/2-inch pieces (you can save the fronds for another recipe, or use them as garnish). | 7. Place potato and fennel pieces into a deep pot and cover with cold water; bring water to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender. | 8. Add the shucked/blanched/peeled favas and cook for another 5 minutes. | 9. Drain well, then pass everything through a food mill - do not use an electric mixer to combine the mixture - a food mill will give the best texture for this dish. | 10. Over medium low temperature, heat together the half and half and butter until the butter is melted. | 11. Add liquid mixture to the milled puree a little at a time until desired consistency is reached (you might not end up using all the liquid). | 12. Stir well to incorporate, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
