I've never had a bean I didn't like and I'm thankful I even found fava beans in Rome GA, peeled or unpeeled!

I found them at one of the Lebanese shops..

Oh, it's not that nearby...
Just about 200 km away (one way)

Good point! I hadn't even thought of the skins as a contributor I thought you couldn't eat them. I found four bags total of Fava Beans here and they were all peeled. Not an enthralling enough bean to find and order online given the price point.

This is true, but long, slow cooked pinto beans are pretty good IMO. I have an old style crockpot that I use only for beans which gives amazing results. If you cook unsoaked pinto beans for long enough (good 5-6 hours plus another hour or two after that) they turn deep brown and develop a very rich flavour and cooking liquid. Of course each type of bean has a unique flavour profile, but pintos cooked this way are really pretty comparably excellent!

I'm big on pretty authentic regional dishes, but sometimes certain ingredients can be difficult to source without a big faff if at all.


Do you mean peeled?

Typo. Yes I meant peeled

I've just found fresh broad beans in the market, so I've got about 300 gms of fresh, skin-on broad beans.
Would the recipe work with fresh beans?

From what I've read yes. Starting with fresh knocks a chunk out of prep time since you don't have to soak them. I started out with 1 cup of dried beans and got 2 servings, easy. The dried beans weighed 330 g after soaking and were probably close to the weight of fresh beans so you should have 2 servings after preparation.

I see lots of recipes using canned ones...

Aren't those dried, cooked?

From what I'm reading you can either pick them when they're dry or pick them and then dry them. Drying is for storage. I don't see why fresh ones wouldn't work just because most of the world is supplied with dried ones.
