Spiced Fava Bean Soup With Rice And Tomato Recipes

SPICED FAVA BEAN SOUP WITH RICE AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Process onions and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and allspice and cook, stirring often, until onions start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until mixture is jammy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Add beans, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes. Add rice and simmer, partially covered, until rice and beans are soft, 30-35 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Top soup with yogurt and pistachios just before serving.
• DO AHEAD: Soup can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

FAVA BEANS WITH TOMATO GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan& over medium heat saute the onions& garlic until golden.
• Stir in remaining ingredients except the beans.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes (add a bit more water if it reduces too much- the sauce should have some liquid to it).
• Gently stir in the fava beans and let stand for a few minutes so the beans absorb some of the flavor from the sauce.
