Instructions
 

  • Open the fava beans cans. Pour the beans into a colander and rinse under cold water.
  • Add the beans into a pan with two cups of water. Place on the hob at low heat and allow to simmer.
  • Wash the lemon and squeeze the juice into a bowl.
  • Peel and chop the garlic, then pour into a mortar and mash well with the pestle. Add the mashed garlic to the lemon juice bowl, then add the cumin.
  • Remove the beans from heat when most of the water is absorbed. It should take around 20 mins. Use a potato masher or wooden spatula to mash the beans coarsely.
  • Add the lemon, garlic and cumin mixture. Taste for salt and add some if needed.
  • Serve in a bowl and top with extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley and chopped tomatoes.
