Directions
The name says it all: farsumagru, in italian falsomagro, literally “false low-fat”, a dish that seems to be diet friendly, but it is not at all!
Maybe created by the so called Monsù – from the french monsieur, chefs who worked for rich families in Sicily – and originally named “farcie de maigre”, sicilian people very soon changed its name in farsumagru, but it is known also as bruciuluni, and nowadays it became a typical dish for sunday’s lunch or Christmas festivities, you can cook it with different ingredients for the stuffing, based on your personale taste, here we propose one of the most widespread!
