We're seeing chefs take pesto, traditionally made with basil and pine nuts, in a whole new direction—as in this fava-bean-and-mint rendition—but one thing stays the same: the eye-catching color. The puree is terrific with sautéed shrimp skewers, though you could also serve it alongside chicken, spread some on a prosciutto-and-mozzarella sandwich or dip crackers or pita wedges into it.
