Ingredients:
- 1/4 kg of fresh small lobster tails ( aragostelle in italy..pretty spiny) they are about 2-3 inches in length at least here in italy, i miss the ones from maine or jamaica
- salt to taste
- above all a paella pan
Directions:
- Wash and soak your Basmati rice in water while you are preparing the below.
- Turn on the grill (Charcoal)l or your stove
- Put your Paella pan ( or a large sauce pan)
- Add your oil and when hot add your diced garlic and onion
- Use a wooden spoon and saute them until translucent
- Add your diced chicken and cook for 5 mins
- Add your whole shrimp, lobster tails and calamari cut into rings, if you are using Chorizo add it as well.
- Stir for about 3 mins
- Add your drained rice and saute for another 3 mins
- Add the fish broth, red pepper, wine, salt to taste and saffron ( chili pepper if you are using) and let it simmer for about 25 mins to half an hour.
- Stir constantly
- The rice has to soak up all the water.. cook further if the rice is not completely done.. add some wine if its too dry
- The key is you don't want the Paella too soupy.. so be careful with adding more wine. I prefer my Paella dry.
- We have a little barbecue in our fireplace and the Paella pan fits there wonderfully... I prefer the smoky taste and the way people used to cook on open fire before we had gas stoves... Anyway in my opinion this was the best Paella i every made ( The first time i cooked it on a charcoal grill.. I also used twigs to give it a bit of flame)
