Directions
Today I offer you a recipe for fregola sarda with seafood, it’s so good! Can you believe I had never tasted it? And I found out that in my family we love it! A few days ago, I found it in a health food store and got the urge to try it.
Fregola (or fregula) is a form of durum wheat semolina pasta, shaped like a ball. It is made by rubbing semolina in a large earthenware container in circular motions into various sizes, small, medium or large.
These balls are then toasted in the oven, which gives them their characteristic amber color and slightly toasted taste. It is usually prepared with clams or seafood but is also excellent with vegetables or legumes. I propose this recipe for Christmas Eve, you will see that it will be a hit! I used the ready-made seafood mix, those who know me know that I do not get along very well with fish but you, if you want, can use fresh seafood.
Ready then to prepare with me Fregola sarda with frozen seafood? Follow me in the kitchen and let’s see together how to make it!
