You'll need to get dried fava beans for this staple of Puglia cuisine. Puglia is the heel of the boot of the Italian peninsula and the home of my occasional photographer boss and dear friend Laura Sciacovelli, whom I thank especially for this exquisite recipe, many more will come from this amazing region of Italy.
