Maccu is a popular dish in Amy Riolo's ancestral homeland of Calabria, Italy. The word calabria is derived from a Byzantine term meaning “fertile land.” This region lives up to its name with rich agricultural traditions that continue today. The word maccu comes from the dialect word for “mashed” and refers to a purée that is made of fava beans, one of the world’s oldest agricultural crops. Fresh and dried fava bean dishes are served in Calabria for St. Joseph’s Day. Serve this appetizer alone, drizzled with olive oil as a side dish, or with crackers, flatbread, or Whole-Wheat Cracker Rings

This dish is best made in the fall when mounds of butternut squash are available at the farmers’ market but if you crave this spicy salad during the warmer months, feel free to use frozen (and thawed) squash instead.
