FideuĂ
- 4 Langoustines
- 4 King prawns
- 4 Prawns
- 400 g Calamari or squid
- 16 Mussels
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 Tomatoes (grated - discard the excess of water)
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- Salt
- 2 cups Fish broth or water
- 240 g Fideus (pasta)
- Yellow food colorant
- Cook the mussels in a pan till they open up. Put them aside and keep the juices.
- Using a flat paella pan, add the oil and and fry the garlic cloves till they are golden. Put them aside. Don't be scared of using a lot of oil as none of the ingredients provide any fat when cooked.
- Cook the langoustines, king prawns and prawns with a little bit of salt and set aside. Don't overlook them as we will add them later on.
- Add the calamari and fry for a few minutes. Once they are starting to turn golden add the tomato and cook until it reduces to half.
- Add the broth or the water (I used watered down seefood bisque that I had left over from another recipe). Taste for salt. There's really not a set amount of broth / water that you must use as it doesn't really affect the final result if the pasta is a little bit overcooked. Feel free to add more water if you feel it's needed. For an extra sea flavor kick add some of the juice from the mussels.
- Add some yellow food colorant (no paprika, turmeric or any other spices please! Just food colorant) and when the broth starts boiling add the pasta.
- A few minutes before all the water has evaporated add the seafood and the mussels.
- Tips:rn1. Cook it for a little longer till you hear the pasta crackling. It's all getting slightly but nicely burnt at the bottomrn2. use the garlic cloves to make a quick allioli to serve with the Fideua
