Paella de marisc Ingredients:

• 4 escamarlans de platja.

• 8 llagostins o gambes

• 1 sèpia grossa, comprada bruta.

• 16 musclos de roca.

• 16 cloïsses.

• 1/2 gotet de vi blanc.

• 2 tomàquets madurs.

• 1 ceba grossa.

• 1 branqueta de julivert

• 2 grans d’all.

• 4 cullerades d’oli d’oliva.

• 1 tassa de cafè plena d’arròs (per persona).

• Fumet de peix (fet amb peixos de roca, espinosos). Si no en tenim podem aprofitar el suc de bullir els musclos.

Preparació:

1. Abans de començar, netegem tot el marisc: traurem la pell i la tinta de la sepia, la tallarem a daus petits, netejarem els musclos de totes les adherències, tallarem els “bigotis” dels llagostins, etc.

2. Escalfem l’oli a temperatura mitjana. Abans que estigui massa calent, hi rossegem els escamarlans i els llagostins i els reservem. En el mateix oli, afegim els alls tallats a làmines ben fines, remenant amb una cullera de fusta perquè no es cremin. Hi ajuntem després la branqueta de julivert tallat ben petit.

3. Afegim ara la sèpia i les cloïsses. Traiem les cloïsses perquè no es trenquin. Sense treure la sèpia, posem la ceba tallada a trossets molt petits. Quan la ceba estigui cuita (transparent), hi posem la polpa del tomàquet ratllada amb un ratllador i quan aquests vegetals estan daurats hi tirem el got de vi blanc, remenant.

4. Rossegem l’arròs en aquest sofregit i afegim el fumet de peix. La mesura de líquid acostuma a ser “les mateixes tasses d’arròs, més una per la cassola”.

5. Salem i deixem que es cogui l’arròs fins que estigui “al dente”. Just abans de treure la cassola del foc hi posem els escamarlans, els llagostins, les cloïsses i els musclos fent forma de rosassa.

N.B.: no podem remenar l’arròs perquè es trenca el tel que fa el midó. Si veiem que cal afegir una mica més de líquid, podem posar-hi una mica més de fumet, vigilant que no es perdi el bull. El gust característic de la paella li dóna la cassola de ferro. Cal conservar-la untada lleugerament en oli d’oli perquè no es rovelli. Les paelles antiadherents canvien totalment el gust d’aquest plat.

És un plat consistent, servit sempre com a únic.

Seafood paella Ingredients:

• 4 lobsters

• 8 prawns or shrimps

• Cuttlefish

• 16 mussels.

• 16 clams.

• 1 / 2 cup of white wine.

• 2 ripe tomatoes.

• 1 big onion.

• 1 sprig of parsley

• 2 cloves of garlic.

• 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

• 1 cup of coffee full of rice (per person).

• Fish broth (made with rock fish, spiny). We can also take the juice of the boiled mussels.

Preparation:

1. Clean the shellfish: remove the skin and ink of the cuttlefish, cut it in small dices, clean the mussels of all adhesions, cut the "whiskers" of shrimp, etc..

2. Heat the oil at medium heat. Before it is too hot, fry lightly the lobsters and shrimp and reserve. In the same oil, add garlic sliced very thin, stirring with a wooden spoon, and then we add some parsley chopped very small.

3. After, we add the cuttlefish and clams. Without removing the cuttlefish, put the onion cut into very small pieces. When the onion is cooked we put the tomato pulp with a grater and we throw the glass of white wine and we stir in order to mix it.

4. We fry lightly the rice in the sauce and add the fish broth. The measurement of the broth usually is “the same cups of rice plus one for the pot."

5. We add salt and let it cook until the rice is "al dente". Just before removing the pan from the heat we put the lobsters, prawns, clams and mussels.

NB: we cannot stir the rice. If we need to add some more liquid, we must be careful not to break the boiling

The characteristic taste of this dish is due to the iron pan which must be kept lightly greased in olive oil so

it does not rust. The use of other kind of pans completely changes the taste of this dish.

Paella is served always alone, as a single dish.
