  Fresh favas can be difficult to find and are time-consuming to
  prepare, since they need to be blanched and peeled before cooking.
  Dried, frozen, or canned fava beans may be found in specialty markets
  and some supermarkets. If favas are unavailable, substitute butter
  beans or lima beans. Serve over couscous or rice.
  
  Place the dried fruit and raisins in a small heat-proof bowl. Add
  boiling water to cover and soak for 20 minutes to soften. Drain and
  set aside.
  
  Heat the oil or water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the
  onion and carrot, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  Add the garlic, cumin, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, for 30
  seconds. Add the tomatoes, green beans, and broth, and bring to a
  boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables
  are tender, about 20 minutes.
  
  Add the favas, peas, fruit, and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer,
  uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the desired consistency
  is achieved, about 10 minutes.
  
  Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
