Cook the fava beans in salted water. Stir with a wooden spoon to obtain a thick puree. Clean and wash the chicory. Cook in unsalted water. Drain thoroughly. Serve on each plate a portion of fava beans puree and a portion of chicory, without mixing them together. With a spoon, form a little well in the puree and pour in a little olive oil (to which you can add some hot pepper). To eat it, take a forkful of chicory and dip it in the fava beans puree.
