Recipe by _comeydisfruta_: Octopus and leek fideua
INGREDIENTS:
STEP BY STEP
1.- Fry the noodles
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.
2.- Cut the octopus and fry it
Take the octopus - previously cooked - cut off the tentacles and chop the rest. Fry the meat for 2 minutes and set aside.
3.- Cut the vegetables
Next, we chop the leek and green pepper.
4.- Sauté the vegetables
Add the chopped vegetables to the paella pan and fry them.
5.- Grate the tomatoes
Crush or grate the two pear tomatoes and add them to your vegetable stir-fry.
6.- Reduce the tomato
Reduce the tomato and add a tablespoon of paprika, then stir a couple of times to mix everything well.
7.- Add cava and let it reduce
After mixing the paprika, add a good splash of cava, let it reduce as much as possible as you did with the tomato previously.
8.- Add the noodles again
Once the cava has reduced, add the noodles and stir a few more times to mix it with the sofrito.
9.- Add the broth and let it cook
With the noodles placed in the paella pan, add the hot homemade stock and let it cook.
10.- Add the octopus
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.
11.- Ready to eat
