Arborea recipes: Sardinian Main courses

Sardinian main courses tell a story of seasons, family, and ancient traditions. In this section, you’ll find a selection of Sardinian main course recipes, designed to rediscover the island’s most authentic flavors.

Among the most iconic dishes are lamb with artichokes and grilled kid goat, perfect for family gatherings. For those who love strong flavors, there are Sardinian-style lamb offal or lamb coratella, true symbols of rustic and genuine cuisine.
