Instructions

1. Drain and rinse the fava beans and chickpeas.
2. Put them in a large saucepan with the cumin and just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Once boiling, remove from the heat. Drain into a bowl, keeping at least 1 to 1½ cups of the cooking liquid.
4. Roughly mash the beans with a spoon or pestle. Add the garlic, salt, olive oil and juice of 1½ lemons, adjusting to taste.
5. Mix well. Note that the longer it stands, the more liquid it absorbs and the drier it gets.
6. Serve in bowls topped with chopped mint, parsley, spring onions, tomatoes and radish, with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
