Frascatula, grandma's recipe of Sicilian \"polenta.\" In Sicily there is a very humble recipe, belonging to the peasant tradition, that vaguely resembles polenta but in reality is not polenta. Made in many variations, frascatula goes by different names across the region \u2014 here in Misterbianco it is called \"pulenta\", but in Sicily you may also find it called \"mentarrimina\", sometimes \"frascatura\", or \"piciocia\" or \"piciocca\" \u2014 and it is mainly prepared by cooking coarse wheat semolina in vegetable broth, especially broccoli, but also wild chard and field greens. In some areas of Sicily frascatula is made with timilia wheat flour and in others with legume flours, such as the \"patac\u00f2\" of Licodia Eubea, which is made with grass pea flour and sausage. It is often flavored with delightful wild fennel. Today, to make frascatula even tastier it is often enriched with pancetta or the more traditional sausage, but the original Sicilian frascatula recipe is vegetarian and at most includes additions of ricotta or pecorino, finished with a good drizzle of olive oil. When my grandmother made frascatula, or as she used to call it, \"broccoli and semolina soup,\" I did not yet know how much history this delicious dish carried, but I remember loving it very much, especially with the addition of those two tablespoons of fresh ricotta that made it delicate and wonderful. Making frascatula the way my grandmother did \u2014 simple and with basic ingredients \u2014 is not difficult; in fact it takes very little time. It is an inexpensive dish with few calories and great filling power. Want to try it too? Let's go to the kitchen and you will love it from the first spoonful.
