Fideuà

Ingredients

• 200 g fideuà noodles - short vermicelli-style noodles
• 300 g mixed seafood - such as shrimp, mussels, and calamari
• 1 medium tomato - finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic - minced
• 1 small onion - finely chopped
• 500 ml fish stock - or seafood broth
• 2 tbsp olive oil - extra virgin
• 1 pinch saffron - for color and flavor
• 1 tsp paprika - smoked or sweet according to preference
• salt to taste
• fresh parsley for garnish - chopped

Step-by-step instructions

1. In a paella pan or a wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the finely chopped tomato and cook for a few minutes until it softens.
3. Stir in the mixed seafood and cook until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the fideuà noodles, paprika, saffron, and a pinch of salt, mixing well to coat the noodles in the flavorful base.
5. Pour in the fish stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook without stirring for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
6. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Serving suggestion

Traditionally served with a lemon wedge on the side and perhaps a light green salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar.
