Farsu magru, also spelled as farsumagru, and also referred to as farsumauru, falsomagro and falsumagru, is a traditional meat roll dish in Sicilian cuisine that dates to the 13th century. Farsu magru is available in many areas of Sicily, but some only serve it for special occasions. This roast is prepared mainly in rural regions in the interior of the island. Farsu magru means " false lean", which has been attributed to the amounts of meat used in the dish, and also to the lean, low-fat nature of the meats typically used.
