The clock
- Start to finish
- at least 1 hr 5 min3 of 5 steps give no time
- Needs you
- none given
- If you get it wrong
- Unforgiving — a fava that does not flatten under a spoon is undercooked; lock the lid again for ten more rather than serve them like that
- What you'll wash
- One thing — the Instant Pot
- Does it keep
- 3 days — the beans keep and the dressing does not, so add the lemon, oil and parsley fresh each time
