Recipes Using Fava Beans

I got some fresh fava beans in my organics box this week and I have no idea what to do with them. I know they have to be shelled and skinned, which sounds like a bit of work. I was wondering if anyone had any personal recipes or advice for working with fava beans? Thanks!

Thanks, MCW but I'm trying to find someone with some first hand knowledge. I got favas last year about this time (organics delivery) and I tried a random recipe and they were pretty unimpressive and a lot of work. I don't even remember the type of recipe, the flavor, anything.

I'm hoping that someone in the community loves fava beans and has some tips. Or maybe they really aren't work the effort. Thanks!
