Ingredients

a golden onion small

a carrot

a stalk of celery

Wild fennel

little finely chopped Rosemary

Procedure

First, take a look at the STEP BY STEP VIDEO RECIPE of the Sicilian-style dried broad bean macco. To prepare macco Sicilian fave, thoroughly rinse the dried beans and soak them for 2 hours in cold water. Dice the carrot and celery and sliced onion. Fry the vegetables and the poached garlic in extra virgin olive oil, then remove the garlic and add the well -drained dry beans. Brown everything and cover with water. When the liquid begins to boil, froth it with a skimmer.

At this point, you only need to cover the macco bean with a lid and low heat cook until the beans will not begin to unravel: stir often, because i legumes tend to stick to the bottom of the pot, and add warm water every now and then because the beans tend to thicken the cooking liquid.

When you've got a thick cream and scented, with small pieces of broad beans inside, add salt to taste, add the finely chopped rosemary and wild fennel. At this point, You can decide whether to enjoy the macco of beans as it is, with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, or add the spaghetti spezzati.

If you decide to cook pasta in macco bean, Add a little warm water and bring the pasta to cooking: adjust so that it is a thick and creamy texture, like the pasta and potatoes alla napoletana. Leave to rest for 5 minutes the soup and serving macco di fave after it is scented with a little extra virgin olive oil (If it were you my approval Nocellara del Belice) and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

The macco bean is delicious even without the pasta if you prefer, only served with extra virgin olive oil and black pepper, or combined with Swiss chard or Swiss chard boiled. O, yet, allowed to cool and fried, how do you see in the recipe macco di fave fried, that will never recommend to try. Bon appétit!
