"AJO-ACEITE" READY!
TRICKS:
STEP BY STEP
1.- Heat the oil
Add some oil that serves to level the pan. The oil should be centered. Add some salt too, and light the fire!
2.- Fry the cuttlefish
When the oil is hot, add the cuttlefish. We start to fry
3.- Fry the prawns
When the cuttlefish get brown, add the peeled prawns to fry them. We do like that because cuttlefish need more time to fry.
4.- Fry the tomato
After that, add the grated or crushed fresh tomato and fry it for a few minutes.
5.- Add the rice
On this point add the rice and let it saute, stirring for about two minutes..
6.- Add paprika
After that add the paprika while continuing to stir up to blend well with the rice
7.- Add the broth
Add 800 mL fish broth, we add twice the broth than rice. Season with salt, the amount will go to taste but it is important to note that fish in itself is already salty, you should keep taste during the process. Add saffron and stir to blend.
8.- COOKING, COOKING, COOKING!
No stir again not to break the rice grain. Strong heat up to start to boil. Fire is essential in this process, the aim is that at 20 minutes the rice is cooked and the paella without broth.
READY TO EAT!!
After 20 minutes of cooking, the paella should be dry and the rice cooked, let rest and ready to eat
