I love looking down the aisle of my local grocery store and seeing all of the different pasta shapes.

It’s like a kid in a candy store!

I’m especially drawn to the tubular shapes like rigatoni, penne, and ziti.

I love how they hold onto sauce so well.

Caramelized Onions & Fava Beans

If you have a big pan, caramelize some onions in it.

If not, no problem, just roast them in the oven with a little bit of olive oil until they’re brown and delicious.

Then, add your rinsed and drained fava beans to the pan.

Stir everything around so the beans are coated in the onions’ deliciousness, and then add a little bit of water, just to deglaze the pan and help the onions cook down a bit.

Now, it’s time to season.

I like to add a little bit of salt, pepper, and oregano to my fava beans.

You could also add some cumin, paprika, or chili powder if you want a bit of a kick.

Once everything is seasoned to your liking, let the fava beans cook until they’re tender.

This usually takes about 10 minutes.

When the fava beans are done, they make a great side dish or topping for salads and grain bowls.

And, if you want to get really fancy, you can top them with a fried egg.

A Tip:

If you find that your fava beans are a bit too bland, try adding some Parmesan cheese to the dish.

It will add a nice depth of flavor.

• Fresh parsley
• Garlic

These additional ingredients will not only add more flavor to your dish, but will also give it a more authentic Persian taste.

A Tip

If you want to make your fava beans even more flavorful, try cooking them in chicken or beef broth.

This will give them a rich, savory flavor that is sure to please.
