Maccu
Maccu is a Sicilian soup and also a foodstuff that is prepared with dried and crushed fava beans (also known as broad beans) and fennel as primary ingredients. Several dishes exist using maccu as a foodstuff, such as bruschetta al maccù and maccu di San Giuseppe, the latter of which may be served on Saint Joseph's Day in Sicily. Maccu is a peasant food and staple food that dates back to ancient history. The ancient Roman people may have invented or introduced the foodstuff, which was created from crushed fava beans. Although maccu's availability in contemporary times in Sicily is generally rare, it is still occasionally served in restaurants there.
