Seafood Paella
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 red capsicum, sliced
- 1/2 green capsicum, sliced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 175g arborio or callaspara rice
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 300ml HeartActive milk
- 200ml cup salt reduced chicken, fish or vegetable stock
- pinch saffron threads (optional)
- 100g firm white fish (eg. flake)
- 75g calamari, cut into rings
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- lemon wedges, for serving
Method
- Heat oil in a paella pan or 25cm round frypan. Add garlic, onion, capsicum and paprika cook for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the chopped tomato and 1 tablespoon water and cook, stirring regularly for another 10 minutes or until the mixture has reached a jam like consistency.
- Add the rice and rosemary and stir until well coated.
- Combine HeartActive, stock and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a very gentle simmer. Pour milk mixture into the rice and cook over medium-low heat, bubbling constantly for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally (do not stir). Stud paella with fish and calamari, then cook for a further 5 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and the fish is nearly cooked.
- Remove pan from heat and cover with foil. Stand for 10 minutes (paella will cook further upon standing). Before serving sprinkle with parsley and lemon wedges.
