Instructions: To cook fava beans (but is a lot of work) is take the larger beans and take the pods and outer skins off. Saute them with onion and garlic, salt and pepper and some oregano. Use no more than about 1 tsp. olive oil for this. Add a little water to this to stew. When theyre going good and partially cooked drop raw eggs onto the top trying not to break the yolk.

Salt and pepper and cover to poach the eggs and finish cooking the beans.

My husband cant have whole eggs, so this is a good dish for him - the yolk part can be discarded easily. Fresh or frozen peas are also good made this way.
