Preparing the Fava Beans
- Remove the strings from the fava beans as you would with green beans. If any pods are tough, keep only the seeds.
- Rinse the beans and place them in a pot covered with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, let them cook for 10 minutes.
- Drain the beans and repeat the boiling process one more time. Let them drain thoroughly in a colander.
Assembly and Baking
- Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients: clean, rinse, chop, and place them in a baking dish.
- Add the cooked fava beans to the baking dish and mix everything well to combine.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190–200°C (375–390°F) for approximately 55–60 minutes, depending on your oven. Add more water during baking if necessary.
