Guinea Pig House Plans

Olè

continue the theme nights in the "usual friends."
This was the time in Spain. Dinner hosted in a hurry, but thanks to the advice "just" turned out to be one of the most successful.
So that night I cooked ...

La Paella Xavie r

The medicine mejor es la buena comida
The best medicine is good food.
(English Proverb)


Xavier is a fellow Spaniard, who turned out to be "fundamental" to the success of the dinner.
We ate in five:
400 g of sausage sausage
400 g of pork ribs cut into small pieces 1 red pepper

1 white onion
shrimp / prawn those as you want (4-5 each)
a retina of mussels
squid (a little ')
a sepia black by about 800 g
broth or water
300/350 g rice
extra virgin olive oil
saffron or sepia
vegetable stock or water

sauce base that can 'also be frozen
Fry the meat well with some good' oil, add the peeled and cut peppers into strips and white onion, cut into thin slices (you have to dissolve), add a little water so it does not blacken.
When onions and peppers are cooked, add the cuttlefish, cut into strips. Xavier told me to take the entrails and black Davan flavor / color, but I have already bought it clean ....
Also add the squid, cut into cubes, perhaps add a bit 'of water to cook the fish well.
When the squid is cooked and the sauce is very soft base is ready and can 'also be frozen.

Apart from the shrimp fry in oil to which you have cut the antennas and cook the mussels (I got them with oil and garlic and cook with the lid until you are open).

the sauce base, add the rice and toast. The rice. Here I used the Carnaroli, then I read that Vialone nano is very good, I'll do some more 'evidence to understand what is the right one to use.

Then add the squid ink and saffron and broth all at once so that barely cover the rice.
Five minutes before end of cooking, that is when the rice will not be touched, add the mussels (which you removed a piece of shell) and shrimp.
I did the paella in a wok because it was the biggest pan I had my Ikea but is really too thin and the rice tends to stick so ... next purchase will be a real paella pan!

Thanks Xavier!
