1

Mettiamo in una ciotola il macinato di vitello, l’uvetta, il sale, le mandorle tagliate grossolanamente, l’olio extravergine di oliva, il pepe. Amalgamiamo tutto e con le mani formiamo delle piccole polpette.

2

Cuociamo le polpette in una padella antiaderente con un filo di olio extravergine di oliva.

3

Servite le polpette alla siciliana su un’asse di legno trattata con vernice alimentare disponendo prima delle porzioni di macco di fave e sopra ciascuna, una polpetta. Verrà una meraviglia!

4

Facciamo rosolare in padella la cipolla e il sedano tagliati a pezzetti.

5

Aggiungiamo le fave, il brodo vegetale e continuiamo la cottura.

6

Terminata la cottura, frulliamo le fave fino a ottenere un composto cremoso.
