SEAFOOD RICE (PAELLA)...


In 2 weeks i'll be going on vacation and i'm trying to eat my way through what i have in my fridge without having to do any (major) grocery shopping so this popped into my mind, i'ts healthy and i had to only buy fresh vegetables.

Rice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Seafood mix of shrimps, calamari and... baby octopus :)
Catfish
2 Tomatoes
Spring Onions
1 Onion
Green peas
Green, red and yellow pepper
Curry
Garlic and Ginger
1 Lemon
Chopped parsley
Salt & pepper

Season catfish with salt, pepper and onions and cook for about 15 minutes, take fish out, remove the skin and flake the fish into a separate plate and set stock aside. While the fish is cooking parboil your rice, drain and set aside.

Pour olive oil in a pan and soften onions, grated garlic and ginger. Add rice and mix until the rice is completely coated, allow cook for 2 minutes. Pour in fish stock, teaspoon of curry (the original recipe says saffron so if you can get some then by all means use it) and green peas (as it takes longer than other vegetables to cook). Taste for seasoning and cook over high heat with the lid off the pan for 20 minutes or until rice is nearly cooked.

Add seafood mix, fish, remaining vegetables and squeeze in juice from lemon. Allow to cook for another 3 minutes and take off the heat.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with simple salad drizzled with a lemon juice and olive oil dressing.

Cheers to good food!
