Jusselle was an ancient broth-based soup dish prepared using grated bread, eggs, sage and saffron. The ingredients were all boiled together in the broth.

Origin

The dish is believed to have originated from the dish in Ancient Roman cuisine, which was included in ''Apicius'', a Roman recipe book that is believed to have been written in the late 4th or early 5th century. In Latin, ''juscellum'' or ''juscullum'' is "a diminutive from ''Au jus, jus'', broth or pottage", and is also a late Latin diminutive word for "soup". The Sicilian name for the dish is based upon the word ''juscellum''.
