In response to the request for the Fava Bean recipes, I am sending two that I found. Actually the beans taste good. I personally have just soaked, then cooked them until tender and added a few veggies and seasonings. #21377 THREE BEAN CHILI Ingredients : 2 tsp. vegetable oil 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef 1 sm. onion, chopped 1/2 tsp. minced garlic 1 (16 oz.) can pinto or red kidney beans 1 (15 1/2 oz.) can fava, lima or butter beans 1 (15 1/2 oz.) can chick peas (garbanzos) 1 (14 1/2 oz.) can tomatoes 1 (15 oz.) can Spanish style tomato sauce 2 tbsp. tomato chili sauce or catsup 1 tbsp. dried oregano 1 tbsp. chili powder or to taste 1 tsp. salt Preparation : Heat oil in large Dutch oven.
