Description
During the last 5 years between the families of my friends is a competitive struggle, who will prepare delicious paella. This Saturday I won!!! To compete with the Spaniards the case is complicated (each family a secret), but it is possible. My calculation is simple - the fresher the seafood and a lot of them, the tastier it will turn out paella. Recently the site hosted a week of Mediterranean cuisine, and the cooks provided a variety of options to make paella. Suppose You will be wondering how to prepare this dish in Spain, so to speak, first hand.

Cooking
Prepare the seafood: squid, mussels, cockles and shrimp to clean and wash
Prizerka base for the paella: onion, green pepper and tomato ( without skin). The Spaniards called fritada.
Chop finely. Fry in olive oil the onion until transparent, add green pepper and tomato.
In parallel, cook the broth of the fish. I have bones from salmon. The broth can be prepared from any fish
Squid cut into rings and add to roast the vegetables for about 10 minutes
Ready broth drain and add to Piero ( special pan for paella)
Cook the mussels separately in a hot pan without oil, closing the lid. 3 minutes is enough, what would the shell open.
Divide it in half. Juice, which is allocated mussels filter and pour into the pan.
At this stage, salt, pepper to taste, put the saffron and add the round rice. All Spanish Housewives doing measurements ladle - ladle of rice per person. I measured out 6 bowls.
And a ladle of green peas frozen or fresh ( canned is not necessary). Stir. And now the most important thing in paella - you can no longer INTERFERE. In order that the rice was crumbly, not mushy. diminish the heat to low. You cannot close the lid!
After 5-7 minutes, spread the shells, press them into the rice with a spatula.
When the shell opens, try the rice ( should be polorotov - bare solid). Fall asleep and parsley. Lay shrimp and mussels. Sprinkle with lemon
Covered with foil. Allow to infuse for 5-8 minutes. Paella is ready!
Noisy company and Paella "at the head" of the table, a glass of white wine "Rioja ", so likes to spend the weekend the Spanish people. Buen provecho or Bon appetite!
