1. Finely chop the onion, then sauté it in olive oil over heat until it browns.
2. Add the fava beans and stir, then cover the pot and leave it on low heat until the beans soften and take on the onion's color.
3. Add water and salt, using 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water for each cup of rice.
4. Let them come to a brief boil over medium heat until the fava beans are well cooked.
5. Add the rice. When the water with rice and beans boils again, cover the pot and leave it on low heat until the rice is cooked.
