Default Fava bean substitute?

I have a recipe that calls for fava beans, which I have never cooked or
eaten before, and which I don't remember seeing in local markets.

The beans are acting more like a garnish than an ingredient in this
dish, so, what would be an acceptable substitute? I'm told that fava
beans are members of the pea family. Snow peas? Green beans? Lima or
wax beans? I'm just looking for something more common in case I can't
find favas in the morning.
