Remove from heat and allow beans to cool in their liquid at least 30 minutes.

In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat and add chorizo, onion and green pepper. Saute, stirring and breaking up sausage, until browned and onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes and drained fava beans. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and 4 cups water; season to taste with salt and pepper.
