Portuguese Fava Bean Stew

By: Dawne

"I always loved fava beans stewed Portuguese style. But there is always something missing from the recipes I have. I adjusted the spices and added some chourico, a Portuguese sausage similar to linguica or chorizo. I think this version makes a great dish. Make sure you have plenty of crusty bread for dipping in the sauce!"

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large onions, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chile paste
1/4 cup tomato sauce
2 cups water
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons paprika
1 pound Portuguese chourico sausage, casing removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 (19 ounce) cans fava beans, drained

Directions

Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until golden brown. Stir in the chile paste, tomato sauce, water, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and sausage.
Bring the sausage mixture to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes. Mix in the fava beans and cook 10 minutes for firm beans, or up to 30 minutes for softer beans.
