Cooking method
To prepare a classic paella, you need to cook seafood:
- fry the shrimps and mussels in half olive oil (their color will indicate the readiness of the shrimps - they should change it to a nice orange, and the mussels will be ready after they open);
- after putting the fried seafood on a plate, we send the octopus, previously cut into pieces, into a frying pan and fry until dark.
Prepare vegetables:
- cut red and green peppers into cubes, as well as onions and chop parsley at the same time;
- fry the vegetables in the remaining olive oil with the addition of garlic for about 2-3 minutes;
- add wine to the finished vegetables and, stirring, let the excess liquid evaporate.
Now the most interesting thing:
- put the fried octopus in the wine-vegetable mixture, add rice and saffron, keep on low heat until the rice absorbs all the liquid;
- now add tomato paste, small shrimp and scallops, salt, mix.
It's time to transfer all the contents of the frying pan into a cauldron with a side or any other dishes suitable for baking. On top we solemnly spread large shrimps, mussels and tomatoes (you can cherry) and, pouring all this beauty with broth, we send it to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees.
Bake the paella for about 20 minutes. If during this time all the water does not evaporate, we put the cauldron on fire and evaporate the remaining moisture.
After 5 minutes, you can serve the dish on the table, garnished with lime (or lemon) slices.
