This is the portuguese traditional way of serving and cooking rice. One of my favourite things to cook. It's absolutely delicious! Ingredients:
12 oz short-grain white rice |
3 to 5 cups water or fish/shelfish stock |
1 1/2 pound monk fish (skinless and boneless) roughly chopped, or any other type of fish of your choice, as long as it doesn't break too much when cooking |
3/4 pound prawns, bodyshell peeled |
8 tbsp olive oil |
1 1/2 cup tomatoes, peeled and chopped |
1/2 sweet red pepper, chopped |
1 onion, chopped |
5 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 bay leaves |
2 tsp paprika |
6 tbsp beer |
salt to taste |
dried red chilli flakes to taste |
6 tbsp freshly chopped coriander leaves |
Directions:
1. Use the olive oil to saute the onions, garlic and bay leaves in a large pan. Stir well and 5 minutes later add the tomatoes. Let it cook for another 5 minutes and season with salt, paprika and chilli flakes.
2. Add the water or fish stock (save some for later, you might need it) and beer. Let it start to boil.
3. Add the sweet red pepper and rice (some varieties of rice need washing first). Stir occasionally!
4. When the rice it's half the way cooked add the monk fish and 5 minutes later the prawns. Keep adding water or stock if needed.
5. Garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
