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 and pepper

• 2 tablepoons Hungarian paprika

Instructions:

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.
