Notes

Frozen artichoke hearts make preparing this meal a breeze!

We recommend cooking your stew over medium-low heat for 50 - 60 minutes; some recipes recommend that it is done after 30 minutes. You can check your artichokes and fava beans at that point and see if they are done to your liking. We prefer a longer cooking time.
