Tomato and Ricotta Crostini
Easy
SERVES 4 TO 6
In Sicilian dialect the word is maccu. In Ligurian dialect the word is marro, but no matter what the dialect word is, this spreadable paste made from fresh fava beans is delicious. It is best to use young fava beans since they will be much creamier than older and bigger beans. If larger beans are the only kind available, they will need to be cooked first in boiling water before proceeding with the recipe.
Boil until the outer skin of the bean easily slips off, and the beans are soft enough to be mashed between the fingers. Fava beans are also available frozen.
