Recipe from @vadearroces: Creamy clam, coconut and lime rice
INGREDIENTS:
STEP BY STEP
1.- Sauté onion and garlic
To begin our sauté, we brown the sliced garlic in the oil and add the grated onion.
2.- Fry tomato
When the onion has softened well, add the tomato and let all the water evaporate, then add the paprika and wait until it is well toasted.
3.- Toast paprika and evaporate the wine
With our toasted paprika, we add the wine.
4.- Add broth, coconut milk and saffron infusion
Once the wine has reduced, we add the coconut milk, the seafood and fish broth and the saffron infusion.

7.- Dress the rice
When we turn off the heat, add the lime wedges, a touch of paprika oil, a very light touch of ground coffee and top with the confit onion.

With all the final ingredients added, let it rest for a few minutes and it’s ready! By following these steps, you’ll have on your table a creamy rice with clams, coconut, and lime. Enjoy this unique rice dish with a fellow diner, paella lovers!
Va de arroces
Va de Arroces was born from Jose and Silvia’s passion for cooking different rice dishes every week.
It all began in the summer of 2022, when during their holidays, the pots and the butane gas bottle traveled like just another suitcase wherever Jose and Silvia went.
During those holidays, and under pressure from their group of friends to open an Instagram account, brainstorming sessions about the page name started to pop up — between long after-dinner conversations and beer-filled afternoons.
Until finally, in October 2022, the rice-themed account of these two amateur cooks became a reality. They thought they had recorded a few recipes to get started, but once they began sharing their dishes and learning more about the craft, they realized the ones recorded that summer weren’t worthy of posting (and those rice dishes still haven’t seen the light, even though they were delicious).
From that moment on, and week by week, different rice dishes have been cooked and enjoyed — mostly shared with friends and/or family, which is one of the essential ingredients for a great rice meal.
