Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    In a large bowl, soak the fava beans and chickpeas in water for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    In a pot, add the soaked fava beans and chickpeas along with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beans are tender, about 1 to 1.5 hours. Drain and set aside.

Cooking

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Tomato

    Stir in minced garlic and diced tomato, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the tomato has softened.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked fava beans and chickpeas to the skillet. Sprinkle with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.
