Recipe by Fulvio Pierangelini, Creative Director of Food
Ingredients:
200g dried, peeled fava beans
12 Mazara red prawns
1l natural mineral water
10 basil leaves
4tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Lemon
Salt
Pepper
Preparation:
Begin by soaking the dried, peeled beans overnight.
The next morning, rinse and cook the beans in cold mineral water. This could take from 10-45 minutes, depending on the size of the beans.
Once cooked, drain the beans and blend them, using the cooking water to obtain the desired density of the mixture. Add salt, pepper and finally the extra virgin olive oil, along with a few drops of lemon juice.
Blanch the red prawns (pre-marinate these in oil and basil) in a pan, and cook for just one minute.
Plating:
Pour the "macco" into a deep dish, garnish with the prawns and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Opera was born in late 16th-century Italy, conceived as a revival of ancient Greek drama. From the outset, it was a sensory art form, drawing music, language, staging and spectacle into a single experience. Outdoor performance has been part of its story almost as long, from the courtyards and gardens of Renaissance Europe to the festivals that now define the European summer.
Belgium does not apologise for its obsessions. In a country that has elevated brewing, architecture and surrealism to the level of national philosophy, chocolate occupies its own distinct place: something closer to culture than craft, as central to the country's identity as its quirky humour. To understand this is to understand Brussels itself.
