    Rice with Seafood - Spanish


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3 lb fish and shellfish (shrimp, clams, mussels, squid, lobster, sea bass)
    5 cup fish stock or water
    2/3 cup olive oil
    1/2 head garlic
    2 cup rice
    1/3 cup tomatoes - peeled seeded and chopped
    a squirt dry white wine
    1 pinch paprika
    1 sprig parsley chopped

    FISH SAUCE:
    1/2 cup olive oil
    2 garlic cloves
    2 egg yolks
    3 small tomatoes
    1 tsp sugar
    1 dash Tabasco sauce
    1 dash Worcestershire sauce
    a few drops lemon juice
    Salt to taste

    Recipe



    Cover the cleaned fish and shellfish with cold water (or fish stock if you have it). The amount of liquid should be no less than 5 cups. Bring it to a boil and simmer until the fish is cooked through and the mollusks have all opened. Strain fish and set aside, saving liquid.

    Brown garlic over a low fire in 2/3 cup olive oil. Add parsley, paprika, and tomato in quick succession. Force the resulting mixture through a sieve onto 2 cups of raw rice and brown the rice in the olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes.

    Bring 5 cups of the liquid in which the fish cooked to a boil and pour it into the rice. Cook over a high fire for about 10 minutes. The rice will bubble at first; when it begins to make a popping noise, reduce flame and cook 10 minutes more on slow fire.

    Sprinkle white wine on top of rice and cook briefly on even hotter fire than at first. The rice should be so dry that you can tilt the pan on its side without having a grain fall out.

    Serve the rice first, alone or decorated with a few mussels and clams.

    As a second course, serve the fish, cooled, with an "All-I-Oli Sauce" or the following Fish Sauce:
    Pound two garlic cloves in a mortar, pour in a little of the 1/2 cup of olive oil, add the two egg yolks*, and mix until thick. Fry the tomatoes, whole, and peel them. Little by little, add the rest of the olive oil, the fried tomato, and the sugar. Season with salt, tabasco, Worcestershire, and a few drops of lemon juice. The finished sauce should have the consistency of a mayonnaise.

    Note: Cooking Egg Yolks for Use in Recipes

    In a heavy saucepan, stir together the egg yolks and liquid from the recipe (at least 2 tablespoons liquid per yolk). Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the yolk mixture coats a metal spoon with a thin film, bubbles at the edges or reaches 160F. Immediately place the saucepan in ice water and stir until the yolk mixture is cool. Proceed with the recipe.
