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
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/4 cup tomato sauce
-
3/4 cup hot water
-
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
-
salt & pepper
-
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
-
3 large onions, chopped
-
2 tablespoons hot red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan& over medium heat saute the onions& garlic until golden.
- Stir in remaining ingredients except the beans.
- 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).
- Gently stir in the fava beans and let stand for a few minutes so the beans absorb some of the flavor from the sauce.
