  1. Grandma got it right! These beans are great. I didn't have fava beans so I used canned cannelli beans (white kidney beans). I thought two cans would be the right amount, but in hindsight, one can would be better otherwise the beans are a bit dry. But flavor-wise, delish!
     
  2. So.... good. I had to use my microwave(we're in the RV), but these were delish. I can hardly wait to try them in a conventional oven. I used my horticulture beans (frozen from last year)... delish. Made for holiday tag.
     
  3. I added some tobasco sauce for a little. Excellant dis will make again
