Fregola tostata, small, 500g
Fregola is a Sardinian specialty pasta. It is handmade from coarse semolina and then toasted to give a delightfully nutty taste. Due to the toasting the pasta balls do not become soggy but maintain the coveted al dente texture. Fregola is being seen on some of the best menus in town.
Recipe
Fregola and mushroom pottage
500g fregola
250g wild mushrooms
Lg red onion chopped,
Bunch flat leaf parsley chopped
Truffle olive oil
2 cloves garlic chopped

Stir occasionally and keep topping up with stock for 15 minutes. Continue to cook for another five minutes to allow the fregola to absorb the juices.
