Seafood paella
The paella that took her to TV. Valencia rice, fish stock and seafood cooked just right.
Recipe in review: Lisbet is adding her final touch.

Ingredients
Step by step
- Heat the stock with the saffron and keep it hot the whole time.
- In the paella pan, with the oil very hot, sear the langoustines 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside: they go back in at the end.
- In the same oil, fry the squid for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and pepper; once soft, add the grated tomato and paprika. Cook until the sofrito darkens a little.
- Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes so it soaks up the sofrito.
- Pour in the hot stock, check the salt and spread the rice evenly across the pan. From here on, no more stirring.
- Cook on high heat for 8 minutes, then lower to medium. Nestle the mussels and clams into the rice.
- At 15 minutes, put the langoustines back on top. Cook 3 to 4 more minutes, until the rice is tender and the stock is absorbed.
- For the socarrat, turn the heat up for 1 minute and listen for the crackle at the bottom.
- Take it off the heat, cover with a clean towel and rest 5 minutes. Serve with lemon and parsley.
Tips
- Use a wide pan: the rice should sit in a thin layer.
- Stock always hot, never cold.
