Arborea recipes: Main courses

Main courses are the heart of lunch, the moment when the table becomes richer and the flavors speak for themselves. In this section, you’ll find plenty of main course recipes, designed for those who love cooking with authentic ingredients and bringing heartwarming flavors to the table. Whether you’re looking for quick main courses for everyday dinners, meat dishes for special occasions, or fish recipes for a lighter lunch, you’ll always find something delicious here. All our recipes have been carefully selected to offer tasty main courses that are simple and satisfying to prepare.

From lamb stew to roast rabbit, and from roasted eel to cuttlefish with peas, each dish tells a story of tradition, with local ingredients and time-honored preparations. Meat main courses are central to our culinary culture, as in ghisadu or grilled kid goat, while fish dishes carry the aromas of the sea and slow-paced days, like fried moray eel or Carloforte-style tuna.

There are also festive dishes, like porceddu, and simpler everyday recipes, such as pollo a succhittu or snails in sauce. And surprises aren’t missing: have you ever tried sweet-and-sour wild boar or lamb with wild fennel?

Each dish is an invitation to cook with care, respect for the ingredients, and a desire to share moments together. Because at Arborea, cooking is above all an act of love. And every main course, when prepared well, can become the sweetest memory of the day.
