Method
Step 1
✔️Dice and set aside: onion, red pepper, button mushrooms, asparagus, courgette, edamame ✔️Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and add one large bunch of fresh parsley, chopped finely. ✔️Sauté for 20-30 seconds, then add in the fregola (approx 80g per person) followed by all the diced veggies. Mix well and season with salt, pepper and bay leaf. ✔️Stir in 1 tbsp of tomato concentrate (or puree) and start adding vegetable stock, one ladle at a time. As soon as most of the liquid is absorbed, add one more ladle. ✔️Check the fregola and make sure it doesn’t get overcooked. ✔️Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil and more black pepper.
