Receta de _comeydisfruta_: Fideua de pulpo y puerros
RECIPE BY "@_comeydisfruta_"
I am Sergio, a person who always carries out everything with a lot of enthusiasm and passion.
Rice dishes have always been a tool for personal improvement in what we can define as art.
For me, the star ingredient is always the Love you put into it.
Give in life what you always want to receive, and the result will surely be spectacular.
Cooking is a world in many aspects. You experiment, you feel, and you learn.
My passion for rice came to me when I was 14 years old. And I enjoy researching and contrasting more and more each time. That’s how you learn. Not from what they say, but from what you experience.

STEP BY STEP
TOAST THE NOODLES AND CUT THE OCTOPUS
The first step for this fideua recipe is to toast the noodles. We put them in the paella pan and heat until they take on a brown/orange color. Once we have this color, we set the noodles aside.
Take the octopus - previously cooked - cut off the tentacles and chop the rest. Fry the meat for 2 minutes and set aside.
CUT THE VEGETABLES AND FRY THEM
Next, we chop the leek and green pepper.
Add the chopped vegetables to the paella pan and fry them.
ADD THE TOMATO AND THE PAPRIKA
Crush or grate the two pear tomatoes and add them to your vegetable stir-fry.
Reduce the tomato and add a tablespoon of paprika, then stir a couple of times to mix everything well.
A SNAP OF CAVA AND A MOUNTAIN OF NOODLES
After mixing the paprika, add a good splash of cava, let it reduce as much as possible as you did with the tomato previously.
Once the cava has reduced, add the noodles and stir a few more times to mix it with the sofrito.
FISH FUMET AND ALL FINISHED
With the noodles placed in the paella pan, add the hot homemade stock and let it cook.
After 6 minutes of adding the broth and allowing the fideua to cook, add the octopus pieces. In the last 2 minutes, add the octopus tentacles.
NOT EVEN THE OCTOPUS CAN TAKE THE SPOON FROM US
After following these steps, you will have an octopus and leek fideua on your table. If the octopus were still alive, it would eat your fideua because it is sure to be so good, rice lovers!
