Fava meets friends stew

He is a vegetarian, she likes meat and we both love music. This will be the combo for our food passion and the main incredients in this blog.

Tadaa! Let us introduce: fava beans. These guys were one of the main protein sources in medieval ages in Finland. They are easy to grow, good looking, fun to cook and delicious. Totally worth of money. This sturdy stew is easy to make and fills your stomach and heart. Beans with top-ranking products from the nature, such as chilis, garlic and fresh coriander, are a perfect match.
