Fava beans are delicious and healthy, full of fiber (10 grams a serving...WOW!) and pretty high in protein ( about 8 grams a serving), but they can be a pain to cook. You might want to soak them overnight, and then they take about 45 minutes on the stove to be cooked. Even then, you have to check, because sometimes there will be a few sneaky ones that didn't cook all the way through.
Here is the recipe...ENJOY!
