Recipe by _comeydisfruta_: rice with Iberian secret and pumpkin
INGREDIENTS FOR THE BROTH:
STEP BY STEP
1.- We brown the Iberian secret
We begin this recipe by slicing the Iberian pork secret and browning it in our paella pan. Before adding it, sprinkle a little salt on the surface of the pan. This will absorb the water from the meat, preventing the oil from splashing and the surface from turning black.
Once browned, set aside.
2.- We cut the pumpkin into pieces and mark it
Add the diced pumpkin, having previously seasoned it with a little salt, to the paella pan. Once it's cooked, set it aside for later.
3.- Sauté the onion
Chop the onion and add it to the paella, sauté it and leave it in the center.
4.- Add the dehydrated mushrooms
Before this, soak the mushrooms in a bowl of water. Don't throw away the water; we'll use it for the broth.
Sauté them a few times with the onion.
5.- Add the tomato and reduce
Add the tomato to the paella and let it reduce. Remember to add a pinch of paprika after reducing.
6.- Add a splash of Pedro Ximénez
Add a splash of Pedro Ximénez and let it reduce to give that special touch to your rice.
7.- Reintroduce the Iberian secret and the pumpkin
Next, add the secret and pumpkin cubes again and mix well with the rest of the ingredients.
8.- We pearl the rice
Add the rice, mix it with the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
9.- Add the broth and let it cook
Pour the broth over the paella, which we'll have prepared with roasted chicken broth and the water from the dried mushrooms.
Also take the opportunity to add the saffron infusion once you've added it to the paella, adjusting the salt throughout the process.
10.- Time to eat and enjoy
By following these steps, you'll have a rice dish with Iberian secret and pumpkin as a starter.
Get out a spoon and enjoy, rice lover!
