No offense but..
... the first are the ingredients of an
arrós al forn (rice in the oven).. in a
paella (fry-pan) !!!
And the second.. not even in Madrid I could imagine a paella rice with... peas and red and green peppers !!!!! (and only God and your girlfriend know what other heressies are those orange things there)
Alright, I had promised Susi to make a thread of some rice dishes and fish dishes that I cooked in August. I took pictures of all the steps, but I've been lazy to write the recipes and arrange the pictures for it.
Anyway, here goes two previews.:
Arrós amb llamàntol (
melós .. a half way between dry and brothy rice)
Arrós à banda ("rice on the side", because with the remaining fish broth you boil some potato and fish pieces, which you then cover with
all i oli (garlic and oil sauce) and
pimentón dulce [sweet paprika]). The rice goes on a paella, with small peeled shrimps and cuts of squid.. not shown in the picture. What shows in the picture is the potatoes with a piece of swordfish, a pice of tunna, a piece of monkfish and a piece of spider fish.
