Pilar's traditional spanish seafood paella. And of course it was no surprise that everyone also enjoyed the wine with it...let's just say it was a fun friday afternoon... :-)
And here is the recipe to this lovely looking dish: Seafood Paella Pilar style
Ingredients: tuna, salmon, langoustines, mussels, rice, olive oil, spanish chorizo, carrots, green pepper, mushrooms, tomatos and onion
To make the stock add onion, langoustine heads and mussels to a pan of water, bring to boil and leave to simmer.
In a paella pan (or frying pan) add some olive oil and fry the sliced chorizo until the oil becomes red.
Add the sliced carrots and green pepper and cook for 5 mins on a low heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped fresh tomatos, after 10 mins add the rice,(1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water more or less) and stir.Pour the stock through a sieve step by step and add to the paella, but don't stir too much (better shaking).The rice needs aproximatly 20 minutes, during this time add saffron in powder or in any case tomato sauce to give the rice some colour.
When the rice is almost ready add the tuna and the salmon and after 5 mins add the langoustines.
It's not allow to drink water with the dish! A white wine from Galicia is recommended (albariño, ribeiro,…). The brand of albariño wine “Anxo” is quite good. We have already checked it. Enjoy the meal!
