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.
