Instructions: Place the fava beans, garlic, salt, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, and water in a pot; then cook over medium heat until the beans are tender.

Place the beans in a food processor and process until smooth, then return to the pot. Add the lemon juice and cumin, and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Spoon onto a serving platter. Pour the remaining olive oil evenly over the top; then sprinkle with the paprika and chilli powders. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
