📊 Nutritional Information
If you’re fond of the honest, straightforward tastes of Sicilian cuisine, this dish is a must-try. Hailing from the hills around Syracuse, Favi Liezzi takes fresh broad beans and transforms them with just a handful of quality ingredients – extra virgin olive oil, a splash of white wine vinegar, dried oregano and a hint of chilli. It’s a rustic, fragrant plate that’s utterly irresistible.
👨🍳 Preparation
- 1
Boil the broad beans in plenty of salted water for about 20 minutes, until tender but still holding their shape.
- 2
Drain and tip them into a large bowl.
- 3
Dress with extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and chilli to your taste.
- 4
Stir well to infuse all the flavours, cover, and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
- 5
Serve the Favi Liezzi warm or at room temperature as a side or a light main course.
💡 Tips and Variations
For extra Mediterranean notes, try adding thinly sliced red onion or a handful of black olives. A sprinkle of fresh chopped mint also brings a lovely lift.
📦 Storage
- • Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- • Bring to room temperature before serving to enjoy the full aroma and flavour.
- • Avoid freezing, as the broad beans will lose their texture.

This dish pairs beautifully with a glass of Cerasuolo di Vittoria – a soft, fruity Sicilian red that balances the sharpness of the vinegar perfectly.
