Recipe by @cherenayuso: Paella with octopus, prawns and torreznos (bacon)
INGREDIENTS:
STEP BY STEP
1.- Cook the octopus
First of all, we start this recipe by cooking our octopus in water for approximately 45 minutes, we do not use any additional spices or ingredients, just water. This will allow us to prepare our fume and get the tentacles ready for the paella.
2.- Fry the prawns
Once our octopus is ready and the bottom is secure, put the paella pan on the heat, add a splash of oil and fry the prawns. Once they are a nice colour, put to one side.
3.- Fry the octopus tentacles
Continue frying the octopus tentacles, once they have turned crimson red, set aside.
4.- Fry the onion
Next, fry the onion, when it has a brownish tone, move it to the ends of the paella pan.
5.- Prepare the sofrito
Now it's time to make the sofrito, add a spoonful of paprika, the crushed tomato and mix in the onion.
6.- Add white wine
Shortly after, add a splash of white wine over the mixture and allow to reduce.
7.- Add the fumet
With the sofrito ready, the next thing to do is to add our octopus fumet, preferably already boiling.
8.- Add rice, spread and cook
Shortly after, add the rice and spread it evenly over the surface of the paella pan, leave to cook for 16 minutes.
9.- We cook the torrenzo
During the cooking process, take advantage of the moment to prepare the torrezno, to do so, take a frying pan with hot oil and cook it until it turns golden brown. When you notice that your tongue is watering just by looking at it, you will know that it is ready.
10.- Rest and decorate
Now all that’s left is to decorate the paella: place the shrimp, octopus tentacles, and the chopped pieces of torrezno. After following these steps, we’ll have a paella with octopus, shrimp, and torreznos on our table. Enjoy this innovative recipe, arrocer@s!
