Portuguese Fava Bean, Chouriço and Egg Stew

👨‍🍳 Method :

  1. Sauté the base: In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté onion, garlic, and bay leaf until soft.
  2. Add chouriço: Stir in the sliced chouriço and cook for a few minutes to release its smoky flavor.
  3. Build the stew: Add tomato paste, paprika, and fava beans. Stir well and cover with water or broth. Simmer for 30–40 minutes until beans are tender.
  4. Poach the eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the stew. Cover and cook gently until the eggs are set (about 5–7 minutes).
  5. Serve: Spoon into bowls and garnish with parsley. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
