Thanks for your comment. Waking up to slow cooked fava beans sounds great, and I do mention in the post that this is the typical way to cook them. However I chose the quicker route to help make the process easier and a bit more accessible for people who might not be familiar.

Thanks Judee, yes I have seen it served with hard boiled eggs as well. I can imagine it's a great option being vegan & gluten-free (as it is even when you are not!).

They are not that common, it's true - my local supermarket didn't have them but the Wholefoods did. It is a little like hummus but the flavor is definitely distinct (and while you can make smoother, it's not as common). Worth trying, though, for sure!

Thanks Carlee, food is not bad as a fill in until as and when 🙂

Thanks so much Karen!

I can understand why - simple is often some of the best!

They're not that common, it's true. Shame you are allergic, though! Favas do have quite a distinct texture and taste, they are quite 'meaty'. I believe lima beans are the closest substitute (even though the color will be different, but flavor-wise it's about closest).

You really should!
