How to Make It
Step
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the chickpeas, bulgur, favas, water and 1 cup of olive oil and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas and fava beans are completely broken down, about 4 hours. Stir in the tomato paste, harissa, tabil, paprika and garlic and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and serve, passing extra olive oil at the table.
