Method
- 1
Tip the tinned fava beans and tinned chickpeas, with their liquid, into a pan and simmer for 8 minutes. Roughly crush about a third of them with a potato masher so the liquid thickens.
- 2
Crush the garlic to a paste with ½ tsp salt and mix with the juice of the lemons and the cumin.
- 3
Stir the garlic and lemon into the beans off the heat and spoon into shallow bowls.
- 4
Top with the diced tomatoes and chopped parsley and drizzle generously with the extra virgin olive oil. Serve with the spring onions and warm pitta breads for scooping.
