Fregola Stufada

A favorite recipe from my Sardinian family! Taste it and enjoy la bella vita!

• 1 lb. of Sardinian semolina fregola
• 1/3 cup grated Pecorino Sardo cheese
• 4 cups meat broth
• 2 medium sized chopped onions
• 1 sprig of fresh parsley
• olive oil
• salt for tasting

Cook the fregola in the meat broth for 10-15 minutes, and drain if necessary, setting the broth aside.
In a pan, simmer the chopped onion in some olive oil, then add the chopped parsley.
In a baking dish, spread a layer of the fregola, then a layer of the cooked onion and a sprinkle of Pecorino Sardo cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Cook in a 375° oven for 20 minutes. The fregola is ready when it is dry enough to be eaten with a fork.
