Directions
The Minestrone del giovedì grasso (Fat Thursday’s Soup) is an ancient recipe traditionally prepared in Modica during Carnival. Among the ingredients there are not only the classic vegetables (such as potatoes, dried shelled broad beans and onion), but also pork lard without rind, cut into cubes. In Sicily, besides the classic Carnival fritters, Sfinici and chiacchiere, the Carnival table is honoured with this characteristic minestrone which also contains pork.
