Delfina Pizzeria’s Fried Young Favas

Delfina Pizzeria’s Fried Young Favas

My blogging fingers are itching to make a Fine Young Cannibals joke, but I’ll refrain.

Instead, let me show you this picture that Lesley and Charles brought back to the office to torment us after they attended the opening game for the Giants. Not only did they have seats at a thrilling game, but they ate at Pizzeria Delfina too. And what did they have for appetizers? Fried Young Favas. Nom!

I will be scrounging around the front garden after work to see if we have any favas still tiny enough to make this delicacy, then it’ll be off to Mitsuwa or Japantown for me to find some panko and try to recreate this dish. Why live vicariously when you can have deliciousness yourself?

(If you’re out and about in SF, stop by one of two Delfina Pizzeria locations: Mission and Pacific Heights.)
