What's a trip to beautiful Sardinia without having prior knowledge of the dishes served there? Don't worry, we have you covered. Below are some of well known regional dishes of Sardinia.
Burrida a Sa Casteddaia
This is an antipasti(an appetizer) dish which consists of fish as its main ingredient. This dish, if you ever wish to try, is commonly served in Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. Within the dish, dogfish is dipped in a marinade of walnuts, vinegar and spices. This can take up to 24 hours!
Spit Roasted Suckling Pig
Also known as 'Su Porcheddu', this dish is often the main course around the centre of Sardinia. There are actually two methods of making this dish. This dish is made exactly as the title says: the meat is hung over top of lit coals and roasted. The end result will be a crunchy and aromatic taste and flavour.
Sa Cordula Roast
This is another typical dish that can be found in Sardinia. In fact, it is a traditional specialty that is known in every part of Sardinia, so you wont want to miss out on this.

They tended to sheep and goat, very important for many Sardinian dishes, especially this one. The recipe requires the interior of young goats or lambs wrapped around with a netting known as Sa Nappa. This dish tastes far better than it is described. It's certainly something new and exciting. It is also usually eaten on a special occasions such Easter or Christmas.
