Typical plates
The Marghine leaves a strong intense memory in its
visitors, not only for its evocative landscape,
mountains and festivals, but also for the tastes,
essences and flavours that belong to the art of
“eating” in this segment of Sardinia.
Even though the distance that separates the town
from the sea is minimal, the culinarie
specialities of this region come mostly from the
earth, Here, therefore, the presence of numerous
plates coming from the country such as bread to
slice and boiled bread, the broad beans in
“landinu” or with lard, the spaghetti with dried
tomatoes, “sa lussarza”, sheep tea and the
“cipollata” with meat sheep, the soup of wild
fennels, the snails in sauce and “sos maccarrones
de ferrittu”.
These dishes, that can be defined first dishes,
find perfect harmony with others (also to a point
of view of their preparation) for their flavours
and their strong taste that recall the true
essence of the earth and the game.
Also the sweet prestige and importance to the
meeting of friends and relatives.
Much delight goes with a good white wine or red
one, a good coffee and a digestive of mirto or
lemon.
