A delightful and hearty dish featuring tender fava beans, aromatic herbs, and a savory broth, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Cook the bacon slowly to render out the fat and achieve a crispy texture.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion in the bacon fat until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning and to ensure even cooking.
Add the fava beans and chicken broth to the skillet, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender.
Use fresh or frozen fava beans for the best texture and flavor.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the chopped cilantro.
Add the cilantro just before serving to preserve its fresh flavor.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with the crispy bacon pieces.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
