Before starting, the fish stock (fumet) must be already prepared.
In a pan sauté the garlic with the oil, add the fregola; season. Add the fish stock gradually until the fregola is cooked, for about 18 minutes. As long as the mix has abundant broth there is no need to stir it often. After 15 minutes add the clams, adjust the amount of salt and pepper and cook the clams until they open. Let stand a few minutes before serving. ■
