Servings: persons

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 very large onion, thinly sliced
3 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 large leek, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fregola (6 ounces)
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shaved

1
In a medium enameled cast-iron casserole or Dutch oven, heat the canola oil.
2
Add the onion, cover and cook over moderate heat just until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Uncover and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is very soft and caramelized, about 30 minutes longer; add 2 tablespoons of water occasionally as necessary to prevent the onions from scorching.
4
Add the stock, sherry and leek to the onion.
5
Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
6
Reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook the fregola until al dente, about 15 minutes.
8
Drain the fregola and add it to the broth along with the thyme and parsley.
9
Simmer until slightly thickened and stew-like, about 5 minutes.
10
Serve the fregola in shallow bowls and garnish with the shaved cheese.
