Description

Indulge in the flavors of Sardinian Fregola with Clams at Tales of A Kitchen! This vibrant recipe brings the taste of the Mediterranean to your table!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fregola
  • 2 cups clams (cleaned)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • ½ cup white wine
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the fregola: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fregola according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the garlic: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the clams: Stir in the cleaned clams and cherry tomatoes, then pour in the white wine. Cover the pot and let steam until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine everything: Once the clams have opened, add the cooked Sardinian fregola to the pot. Toss everything together, seasoning with salt and pepper.

5. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Ensure that all clams are closed before cooking; discard any that remain closed after steaming.
  • You can substitute fregola with couscous for a quicker option, but the texture will differ.
