  • Remove star anise and bay leaf and serve with bread.

Notizen

1. Dried fava beans have a tough skin that is commonly removed after cooking. But don’t do it! The skin adds both flavour and texture to the chili that you don’t want to miss. Alternatively you can use canned favas, they come with a softer skin. 2. We have a toddler in our household who doesn’t tolerate heat. Therefore I removed her serving before adding the green chili and the chipotle. You can add them earlier, if heat is not a concern.
