I made these just so I could post a review. These are okay - nothing special, but a perfectly serviceable use of fava beans. You really can't go wrong with me if you include Parmesan cheese, so that's always a plus. However, call me a stickler, but there's no real reason to call these Brett Fava Beans aside from the fact that Fava sounds slightly like Favre. Favre is from Mississippi, one of the homes of Cajun cuisine - but there's nothing even remotely Cajun about this dish, and it wouldn't have been hard to include something.
