Drain canned fava beans and chickpeas and put in a saucepan with the water. Simmer gently for 8 minutes, mashing a small portion to thicken.
While the beans warm, crush garlic and mix with lemon, cumin, olive oil and salt.
Chop tomato, cucumber and parsley and warm the ready-made pita.
Stir the lemon mixture into the beans. Serve in two bowls with parsley, fresh vegetables and pita.
