Sardinian Cuisine in Cagliari
The Sardinian capital is famous for its delicious local dishes: delicious malloreddus-a typical Sardinian pasta made from semolina wheat, eggs, water and salt and seasoned with a good tomato sauce with sausage and fresh pecorino. You should also try the delicious culurgiones, another type of pasta stuffed with potato, mint and pecorino, then seasoned with a delicate sauce with basil.
Among the main courses, which are also exceptional, we must mention Su Porcheddu, the typical suckling pig, loved by locals and tourists alike. Sardinians love meat!! Make sure you try the lamb stews seasoned with a delicious sauce made from chopped dried tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. The Cordula with peas is a fantastic dish: is none other than the lamb’s intestine in olive oil with garlic and parsley and then cooked in a pot with water and peas.
Sardinian Desserts: pardulas, small cakes stuffed with fresh ricotta, or bianchittus, meringues, cakes very light derived from simple ingredients such as almonds, sugar and egg white.
For digestive purposes!! immediately after the meal, you should order a Mirto, the Sardinian drink of choice made from Myrtle berries.
