nJudge commented: “An authentic, well textured and versatile product. We enjoyed the size of the individual pieces and its flavour had clarity, without a hint of the ‘dustiness’ you sometimes encounter in this type of product. We liked it and would be happy to use it in our own kitchens.”
n
nFontana FORMIELLO Fregula Sarda (500g) is made from high quality durum wheat semolina and water.
n
nThis pasta is shaped through bronze dies, slow-dried and lightly toasted.
n
nThis traditional process gives fregula its light brown colour and tasty flavour.
n
nKnown as Arabic couscous, fregula was introduced to Sardinia by explorers from North Africa and became part of the local cuisine.
n
nGood to know: Fregula can be cooked in boiling water like a classic pasta shape and then tossed with a sauce.
n
nIt can be cooked like a risotto rice in the broth of the recipe.
n
nWhen cooked in boiling water drain thoroughly, tip into a bowl then sprinkle a few drops of olive oil over it and toss to coat evenly. This will stop the beads sticking together as they cool.
