Paella & more

Enjoy the true TASTE OF SPAIN and explore this fascinating countrys love affair with rice. Explore the deliciously diverse ways in which RICE AND NOODLES are used in a multitude of unmissable dishes BEYOND PAELLA. This book brings together delicious rice dishes from all over Spain, from REGIONAL CLASSICS that are enjoyed around the world to unusual LOCAL SPECIALITIES. Rice is a wonderfully versatile ingredient, and Spanish cooks transform it into an array of dishes from simple comfort food to grand feasts to be shared on special occasions. Learn how to make a show-stopping Paella Valenciana (Valencian paella) or a Paella de Marisco y Chorizo (Seafood paella with chorizo), or Fideua Negra (squid ink noodles). As well as traditional regional dishes, there are also other styles of rice dishes to try, such as Arroz Caldoso con Almejas (Clam soup) or Arroz al Horno con Garbanzos y Pasas (Baked rice with chickpeas and raisins). Recipes are also included for the lesser-known fideua, a dish originally from the coast of Valencia that is very similar to paella but made with snipped vermicelli noodles rather than rice. There is something for every taste here, with recipes containing meat, poultry, fish and shellfish, as well as some tempting vegetarian and vegan options to choose from. Lovers of authentic Spanish food will not be disappointed!
