PAELLA WITH SEAFOOD








Paella is quite simple to make. You will fall in love with the smell and taste.
Let me show you one type of paella. We’ll start with seafood paella.

Ingredients:

Olive oil

100gr of rice per person

Double and a half the amount of rice in volume of boiling fish broth

Prawns

Chopped squids and cuttlefish

Clams and mussels

1 onion, sliced or minced

Red pepper cut into strips

1cup of green peas

Artichokes (Opcional)

Garlic

2 red grated tomatoes

Salt, black pepper, paprika (a half teaspoon)

1 teaspoon of sugar

Parsley

Chopped until well mixed: parsley, a garlic glove, 6 toasted almonds, 6 toasted hazelnuts, 6 pine nuts, 2 strands toasted saffron or a tea spoon of turmeric and salt.


Put the oil in a paella pan over a medium-high heat; add the minced clove of garlic, then add the prawns fry them for 1 minute remove them and set aside.

Add the chopped onion into the pan. When the onion becomes golden, add the sliced squids. 
Then, add the paprika and immediately add grated tomatoes, add salt, pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Stir a little. Then add the vegetables.

Now, add the rice, you can season it with salt.  Stir just a little and the taste will be well integrated.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC

Put the clams and mussels in a pot without water (you can pour in a glass of white wine) over a medium-high heat until they open. Do not pour the water off (clams and mussels release water). We will add it to the fish stock to boil the rice.

Now add the broth into the paella. Let it boil for 5 minutes and add the chopped mixture. Turn down to a medium heat for 12-15 minutes or you could finish the cooking in the oven. Heat it to 180ºC.

If the liquid is absorbed before finishing we will add some hot water
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

You could combine whatever ingredients you have around or depending on the season.

Picat fins que quedi ben barrejat: julivert, gra d'all, 6 ametlles torrades, 6 avellanes torrades, 6 pinyons, 2 torres de safrà torrat o una cullerada de cúrcuma i sal.





Posar l'oli en una paella a foc mitjà-alt; afegiu els grans d'all picat i afegiu les gambes fregint-les durant 1 minut, retireu-les. Afegiu la ceba picada a la paella. Quan la ceba es torna daurada, afegiu els calamars a rodanxes i la sèpia. A continuació, afegiu el pebre vermell i afegiu immediatament tomàquets rallats, afegiu sal, pebre i una culleradeta de sucre. Remeneu una mica. A continuació, afegiu les verdures i la cúrcuma.

Ara, afegiu l'arròs, saleu. Remeneu una mica perquè el sabor quedi ben integrat.

Preescalfeu el forn a 180ºC

Posar les cloïsses i els musclos en una olla sense aigua (es pot abocar en un got de vi blanc) a foc mitjà-alt fins que s'obrin. No llençar l'aigua (les cloïsses i els musclos alliberen l'aigua). L'hi afegirem després al caldo de peix.

Abocarem el brou calent a la paella. Deixarem bullir durant 5 minuts i afegiu la picada. Baixeu a foc mig durant 12-15 minuts o bé podeu acabar la cocció al forn. Escalfeu-lo a 180ºC.

Si el líquid s'absorbeix abans d'acabar, afegirem aigua calenta
