Smoked Paella Recipe

|

When I first came to Barcelona, I really wanted to try real Spanish paella. But the locals, who are well versed in cooking, told me that the “real” paella should be tasted in Valencia, and also warned that you should not go for paella to places located on every corner on tourist routes. Instead, I was offered to try to book a table in a small restaurant that is famous for its cuisine and revered by locals. I didn’t manage to get there the first time, in fact all the seats were booked, but when I got there, I was very surprised. It was there that I got acquainted with the most unusual paella of all that I have ever tasted. It was blackened! In order to somehow diversify the paella recipes presented on the site, I decided to reproduce the same, unusual, smoked paella, and at the same time introduce others to such an interesting option and an unconventional approach.

French Fishermen Soup “Bouillabaisse” Recipe

Bouillabaisse – a cult dish of South French cuisine – is a fish soup. The main ingredients of this soup are fish (at least 5 types) and vegetables. Of course, this rich soup with an unusual history is very tasty and healthy, but there is also some danger in it – you can easily get carried away and get up from the table only when there is nothing left in the tureen!

Paella with Lancet Fish and Seafood Recipe

I love lancet fish for its tenderness, softness and juiciness. There are no bones in it, except for the central cartilage. But we all know that during the heat treatment of this wonderful fish, a lot of fish juice is released. So let’s use this feature for good: cook it with paella. Let the juice soak the rice and make a delicious, fragrant dish out of it. And we don’t need fish broth.
