Stewed Fava Beans

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To prepare the stewed fava beans, heat a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the guanciale cut into thin strips.
  2. Allow the guanciale to brown lightly, then add the shelled fava beans. Stir well, pour in half a glass of hot water, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring gently from time to time.
  3. Once cooked, season with freshly ground black pepper (and salt to taste if needed) and serve the stewed fava beans immediately.
