  • Fregula pasta is made in the same way as cous cous, but it is used differently. Here Eugenia shows us the lengthy process of making it - and then a delicious but frugal soup with chickpeas. It's a good example of cucina povera. In her village in Sardinia, it's called su succu (which is also the name of an entirely different recipe we filmed a couple of years ago in Busachi, two hours drive away!).

    what a garden! I close my eyes and I can smell all kinds of wonderful fragrances! The idea of the fregula is fascinating: a labor of love!

      Yes, I like Eugenia's way of mixing flowers and herbs. And all handmade pasta is a labour of love, don't you think? :-) best wishes, Vicky

      It's a great soup to make - even if you 'cheat' and buy a packet of fregula or giant couscous. best wishes, Vicky

    I love traditional pure original plant-based dishes (and not this socalled "vegan" versions of nowadays with strange (or inadequate) processing/cooking methods and ingredients). Love

    This is much harder than it looks! You’d think it’s a simple matter to get the lumps of semolina to be relatively uniform - after all, it’s just 3 ingredients and and requires no kneading, rolling, or fancy cutting. Well, it takes a LONG time (at least for me, a total fregola novice) to make enough to feed a family of 4. Granted, 2 of the 4 are perpetually hungry teenagers, but it still took me forever, and my fregola were all different shapes and sizes. I didn’t have enough large fregola to serve us, so I used every tiny little scrap. It still tasted amazing, though. Because it’s such a simple dish, I think it’s important to use your best tomatoes, flour, and olive oil. But next time I may just treat myself and buy some really good dried fregola from the local market.

      The good news is, even expert fregola makers end up with different size balls. And a lot of people agree with you: most buy their fregola these days. But very well done for making it! 😊🌺best wishes, Vicky

    Also the smaller semola balls are added at the end or are they being used for other purposes? Love

      It is! Top notch ingredients are key, like Eugenia’s homemade sun dried tomatoes - each preserved with some basil. 😊 best wishes Vicky

    And when was/is the parsley added? Love

  • @dukenegju

    Is the onion being fried/cooked in oil first - or is everything of the first chickpea part assembled with water and boiled only? Love

      Pasta Grannies Oh, gosh. I have only had it at restaurants in the U.S., and the pasta looks like tiny round bits-this pasta reminds me of it.

    We have a dish that is pretty similar in Palestine. It's called "Maftool" and is steamed not boiled.
