Farsu magru
Farsu magru is a traditional meat dish in Sicilian cuisine . This roll roast is mainly prepared in rural regions in the interior of the island.
Farsu magru means something like “made lean”, whereby “lean” is meant in the sense of “poor”, since only the outer layer of the roast consists of meat.
Beef slices are pounded flat and laid on top of each other so that they form a large rectangle. On top of that is a layer of thin slices of bacon . For the farce , crushed slices of bread, minced meat, cheese and ham cut into small cubes, chopped onions, garlic and fresh herbs are mixed together. Then the filling is evenly distributed over the rectangle, hard-boiled eggs are laid in the middle. The meat is now rolled around the eggs, tied together and cooked in the casserole.
One serves the Farsu magru z. B. with rosemary potatoes or cold with tomato sauce.
