Step 1
Pulse fava beans, parsley, cilantro, and green onion in a food processor until roughly mixed but still textured, about 10 pulses.
Step 2
Transfer to a bowl, fold in flour and a pinch of salt and pepper, then refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Heat 0.5 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high until a wooden spoon handle sizzles when dipped, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Scoop mixture into rough 2-inch patties and slide into hot oil in batches; fry 2 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy.
Step 5
Transfer patties to paper towels to drain while you toss chopped tomatoes and peppers with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon.
Step 6
Serve hot patties alongside the fresh salad on the same plate.
