Clean the arselle thoroughly to remove any sand.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

Add the cleaned arselle to the pot and stir well.

Add the tomato concentrate and mix it in with the arselle.

Pour in the water and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the fregola and cook until tender, following package instructions.

Finish with fresh parsley before serving.
