** This is part of my vegan Soup to Nuts fava bean recipe series. For a list of different recipes, check out this post about fava beans! **
I love stews. Especially ones that have a tomato, or tomato sauce base. Lots of Egyptian stews, like this Zucchini stew, use a vegetable, and some kind of meat stock.
With my kitchen overflowing with broad beans, I knew I had to try to make a stew with them. Gladly, the recipe worked and was even better than I thought. The key here is not to cook it for a long time like traditional stews. We want the beans to stay green and not mush.
Easy, simple, Egyptian style bean stew perfect for vegans. We had them with white rice and bean burgers.
The batch made a lot, and I was able to freeze about 2 portions, and it was good as new when I reheated it.
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh broad beans, shelled and washed
1 meduim sized onion, chopped
1 kg fresh tomatoes, pureed
2 Tbsp tomato sauce
2 large carrots, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
6 cups water

Enjoy!
Do you love stews? or prefer just sauteed vegetables?
I love Egyptian style "stews" (ie. any vegetable in tomato sauce with rice) and this sounds like a variation on my moms bisilla - love!
