Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g Fregola sarda
- 200 g calamari
- 10 pieces prawns
- 150 g clams
- 2 pcs onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 handful parsley
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200-250 ml fish stock hot
- 1 dcl dry white wine
Instructions
- Let the clams purge for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Place them in a colander and then in a basin of cold water and salt. This helps remove sand, which settles at the bottom of the basin. After purging, drain and rinse the clams under cold water. Place them in a pan with oil, garlic, and parsley over high heat. Cover and wait for the clams to open. Once opened, drain the clams, reserving the sauce.
- Clean the squid by cutting them into strips. Peel and devein the shrimp.
- Now bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta according to instructions till it is still “al dente”. Strain the cooking liquid through a double layer of muslin or sieve and put the pasta on the side.
- In a non-stick pan, heat oil with chopped shallot and tomato paste. Add the fregola and toast it, stirring continuously. Pour in white wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Gradually add hot fish stock, enriched with the cooking water from the clams. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
- Halfway through cooking, add the calamari and then the prawns. Mix well and continue to simmer the fregola. Just before the end of cooking, add the mussels and clams.
- Season the seafood fregola with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Notes
Once cooked to your liking, serve the seafood fregola hot, garnished with additional parsley and chili.
