Bazzoffia

Bazzoffia is a traditional soup originating from Lazio, particularly the villages of Sezze and Priverno. This peasant dish is prepared in spring and summer and it's made with a combination of peas, beans, artichokes, lemon, lettuce, onions, stale bread, olive oil, eggs, pecorino cheese, salt, and pepper. The soup is covered and cooked over low heat until all the vegetables become tender and fully cooked. When served, the bread slices are divided among bowls, an egg is broken over each slice, and the hot soup is ladled over the top. All that' s left is to grate some pecorino over each bowl and bazzoffia is ready to be enjoyed.
