A nice spicy side. Could not get canned favas and fresh are out of season, so used canned baby lima beans instead. Enjoyed all the caramelized onions mixed with the tomato sauce and smoked paprika. Did cup the red pepper back for DH’s sake used 1/4 teaspoon which gave it a nice little tang. Think the full tablespoon would have over powered the beans. Thanks for the post.
