If you are looking for a soup recipe that incorporates broccoli, beans and other vegetables you might have lying around in the fridge, you are going to like this one. It’s especially popular in Sicily, and it also features pasta. Let me tell you more about it.
Legumes and broccoli have a special place in Sicilian cuisine, loved for their unique flavors and textures that add depth to traditional dishes. Sicily’s perfect blend of Mediterranean climate elements—like sunlight, rainfall, and humidity—creates an ideal environment for these ingredients to flourish and develop rich, distinctive flavors.
A popular Sicilian saying, “Lenticchia e ceci neri, fava larga, fagiolo badda,” highlights the importance of lentils, black chickpeas, broad beans, and badda beans in Sicilian culinary culture. It’s no wonder these ingredients are cherished in Sicily, where they grow abundantly and contribute to the region’s delicious and diverse culinary heritage.
