Part of the Cous-Cous family of Sardinia, Italy. It has an irregular, pebble-like shape with a coarse exterior that grips sauces. Fregola's pronounced flavor comes from a skillet toasting toasting process making this an extremely unique and exotic gran. Cook it like you would conventional pasta, in roiling salted water, or simmer like risotto for a creamy texture, adding small amounts of hot water or broth and stirring frequently; we also like to simmer it in soups and stews. Fregola cooks quickly, making it perfect for weeknight cooking. (Portion: 16oz Package)
