Miss Hilda's Fava Beans

  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry fava beans, soaked overnight in cold water to cover
  • Salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 pound chorizo, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups homemade or prepared tomato sauce
  • 4 cups water
  • Salt and Pepper

Directions

  • Drain fava beans and rinse them under cold running water. Transfer beans to a large saucepan or soup pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmering and cook until tender, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Skim foam from surface and add more water, if needed. Add salt, to taste, in last 1/2 hour of cooking. Remove from heat and allow beans to cool in their liquid at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat and add chorizo, onion and green pepper. Saute, stirring and breaking up sausage, until browned and onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes and drained fava beans. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and 4 cups water; season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmering. Cook, stirring once or twice, until flavors are combined and beans are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
