Nourishing Fava Bean Stew in 15 Minutes | Rice and Beans

A quick bean stew, ready in about 15 minutes, made with simple ingredients and a gentle balance of spices.

This creamy fava bean stew comes together easily, yet still feels complete. With earthy beans, warm spices, and fresh herbs, it’s a nourishing meal that pairs well with rice for a comforting everyday dinner.

For contrast, this stew can be paired with a refreshing cucumber mint raita — a simple yogurt-based side that brings a cooling balance to warm, spiced dishes. It’s an easy accompaniment that adds a creamy, fresh element and helps round out the meal.

In this video, I also share a quieter way of approaching cooking. Paying attention to how ingredients feel, how you work with them, and how the body responds. Over time, this awareness shapes the way we cook — not just for flavour, but for how food supports and nourishes us.

INGREDIENTS (flexible):

Serve with rice for a simple and satisfying meal.
