Method

  1. 1

    Warm the fava beans with a splash of their tin liquid, the garlic and cumin in a small pan for 6–8 minutes, lightly mashing some of the beans.

  2. 2

    Stir in the lemon juice and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Warm the pitta bread.

  4. 4

    Season to taste, then top the beans with the chopped tomato and parsley, and serve with the warm pitta.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g parsley, 5 pitta bread and ¾ lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
