If you haven't tried Fava beans you are in for a nice surprise. Ingredients:
2 (19 ounce) cans fava beans (use fresh if you have them, take off the pods and boil them until tender, cool and then slip off the) |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
3 large onions, chopped |
5 cloves garlic, minced |
2 tablespoons hot red pepper flakes |
1/4 cup tomato sauce |
3/4 cup hot water |
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
salt & pepper |
2 teaspoons hungarian paprika |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan& over medium heat saute the onions& garlic until golden.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients except the beans.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes (add a bit more water if it reduces too much- the sauce should have some liquid to it).
4. Gently stir in the fava beans and let stand for a few minutes so the beans absorb some of the flavor from the sauce.
