A comforting, slow-cooked classic featuring tender cuts braised in a rich, velvety reduction with root vegetables and fresh herbs.
Heat the fava beans with the water in a pot over low heat.
Lightly mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the stew.
Stir in the garlic, cumin, and Aleppo pepper and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes more.
Drizzle with olive oil, scatter with parsley, and serve with warm pita bread.
