Recipe-Ingrediants
Mediterranean Dish the origins of this dish come to us from the shores of Valencia, where the country's endless rice paddies produce a variety of rice similar to Carolina rice.
The dish took its name from a two-handled pan used to cook the food, known as "paella." There is no single standard recipe for paella, as it varies greatly. You can find it with seafood, fish, legumes, vegetables, meat, but always with rice as the base.
Their main spice was saffron, which is often economically substituted with turmeric for color and aroma.
The most common paella that has become prevalent is made with seafood and chicken.
Ingredients
300 g Carolina rice
300 g peeled shrimp
½ kg mussels, washed and beards removed
250 g chicken breast fillet, cut into small pieces
2 squid or cuttlefish, cut into rings or pieces
1 dry onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
30 g white wine
Parsley, finely chopped
Vegetable broth, hot + 2 pinches of saffron for more color and aroma
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the squid or cuttlefish and saute with half of the finely chopped onion until they change color. Then add the shrimp. Saute lightly for 1-2 minutes, then add the mussels, deglaze with wine, let the alcohol evaporate, and remove the pan from the heat.
In a pot, pour a little oil and saute the chicken. Then add the remaining onion and stir. Add the rice, mix with the chicken and onion, and pour in the broth.
Lower the heat and let it simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Just before the rice is done, add the seafood and let everything come to a boil together.
Remove from the heat and discard any mussels that have not opened.
Serve on a plate, garnishing with the seafood and sprinkling with parsley and freshly ground pepper!
You can add vegetables such as green beans, peas, carrots, fennel, etc.
Some people use cuttlefish ink in the rice.
A very nice combination is to add cherry tomatoes for flavor and color.
You can also add scallops, clam, baby octopus, and even fish fillet.
