Mashed Potatoes “Shrimp on the Beach” Recipe

|

He came to me when the task was to feed three young “beauties”. With mine, no – he’s not picky, he eats almost everything. The second kid from a religious family, although he does not observe a “strict” fast, but parents are asked not to offer meat products at this time (at least they were warned in advance). With the third – much worse! In order for a child to normally eat something other than sweets, it is necessary: to dance a hopak in front of him, arrange a circus with clowns, can launch a rocket to the moon, and so on… And, of course, there must be the same dish on each plate, otherwise they will start fighting… In general, I had to dig in the refrigerator, bake a loaf and in the end it turned out this. The name was invented by his son: the color of mashed potatoes with sauce reminded him of the color of sand, and shrimp – lovers of beach holidays on deck chairs.

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.
