I'm having one heck of a time finding Fava beans. Can you tell me where you purchase them?

Rose, it might be a little hard depending on where you live, try lima beans, those might be easier to find.

It seems like a lot of red pepper flakes .. 2 tablespoons? And 3 large onions ? For 2 cans of beans ?

This stew is usually spicy, but you can adjust everything to taste.

We never do, using the liquid from the canned favas adds more flavor.
