Paella Rice with Fish & Seafood (Arroz con Pescado y Marisco) This week we want to share with you a very nice recipe, one of our favorite ones, Fish and Seafood Rice Paella. We cook it especially when we want to celebrate. We hope you really enjoy it as much as we do. Have a great week and start getting ready for Christmas, our favorite time of the year.
INGREDIENTS:
by Pilar Ruiz / You can find more of her recipes at comomegustacocinar.blogspot.com
Difficulty: Moderate Preparation Time: 90 minutes Serves: 4 people
For the Stir-fry Sauce (Sofrito): * 1 White Onion, finely diced * ½ Red pepper, finely diced * 1 Green pepper, finely diced * 2 or 3 Cloves of garlic, diced * Extra Virgin Olive oil For the Fish Broth (Fumet) – Yields 6 1/2 cups (1 1/2 liters): * Shrimp shells and heads (from those used in the stew) * 1 Small Rockfish * ½ White Onion * 1 Green pepper, roughly chopped * 1 Bunch Parsley *1 Tomato * 6 ½ cups (1½ liters) Water
For the Paella: * 1 1/3 Cups (250 mg) Medium or Short Grain Paella Rice (arroz redondo sabroz o arroz bomba) * 1 Tablespoon sweet paprika * Some strands of saffron * 8-9 oz. (¼ kilo) of baby squids * 1/2 lb. (¼ kilo) of peeled king prawns (extra large shrimp—Gambónes) * 8 unpeeled Scampi (Cigalas), to garnish the top of the paella, once we fry them * 3 or 4 Tablespoons homemade tomato sauce * 1 1/16 cups (125 ml) White wine * Extra Virgin Olive oil * Salt and ground black pepper
For the ground herbs (picada) * 2 cloves of garlic * Chopped parsley * Salt * Some Black pepper corns * Some olive oil Homemade Garlic Sauce: * 1 egg * 1 Clove of garlic * Extra Virgin Olive Oil * Chopped Parsley * Juice from half a lemon * Salt
HOW TO PREPARE: * To start with, we are going to prepare the fish stock. Add to a cooking pot 6½ cups (1½ liters) water, the rock fish, the shells and heads of the shrimp (king prawns), the onion and the roughly chopped green pepper, the parsley and the tomato. We let it boil for half an hour. We strain the broth and set aside for later. * Then we are going to prepare the Stir-fry sauce (Sofrito), and in the paella pan we add some olive oil and we are going to sauté lightly for 2 minutes per side the Scampi, two per person, that we set aside to decorate our seafood paella. Remove from the pan and we keep them for decorating. * We add the finely diced (brunoise style) onion and sauté it, and then the diced cloves of garlic. Now we add the finely diced (brunoise style) green and red pepper too. We add the tomato sauce, sauté it for
10 minutes and we add the sweet paprika and the saffron threads. We stir it a bit. * Then, it is the moment to add the cleaned baby squids (puntillitas or chopitos) to the stir-fry. During cleaning ensure the quill is removed. We then stir it and add the White wine. We cook on Medium Heat for a while so that the alcohol evaporates and then add 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) of the fish broth. We keep on cooking until the squid gets tender or for about 15 minutes. * After this time we add the rice, which we have previously slightly toasted in a pan, we stir it and then add 2 ½ cups (675 ml) of broth. We let the rice cook for 10 minutes on High heat. As the broth begins to boil, add the peeled shrimp and then we put the paella pan into a preheated oven at 355 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 more minutes. Then we
take it out of the oven and let it rest (we cover with aluminium foil until we take it to the table). * While the paella is in the oven, we’re going to prepare the homemade garlic sauce, which you’ll love even with the paella, and then the ground herbs. * For the homemade garlic sauce, add the egg, the clove of garlic, the salt and juice from half a lemon to a hand mixing cup or blender. Add a stream of olive oil as you blend, a total of about 1 cup (250 ml), using an electric hand blender or blend in the blender until the mixture thickens and stiffens. Serve in a separate dish to accompany the paella. * For the ground herbs, we are going to use a mortar and pestle to grind all the ingredients. Once the paella is removed from the oven, add the ground herb mixture, spread it on the stew and we stir it a bit, to distribute the flavor. You’ll see what great flavors the herbs will give to the paella once all the ingredients are mixed together. Garnish on top with the previously grilled scampi. And ready to sit down at the table and enjoy this great dish that we are certain that you will love.

Zamb Text by Karen Lucas / Upper
T
he musical instrument Zambomba is a rather large hollow cylinder that can be made of different materials, usually ceramic or wood. One of the ends is closed with piece of leather that has a wood bar through the middle. Sometimes this bar is substituted by a rope. Rubbing the bar with both hands produces vibrations in the leather making a grave and peculiar sound. This type of instrument has many variations found in countries around the world. In Spain, the Zambomba is typically used with Christmas music. In Jerez de la Frontera, the Christmas fiestas where this instrument is played are called Zambombas. The origin goes back to the 18th century when neighbors gathered in community patios to celebrate Christmas. Everyone brought food and drink to share and sang flamenco type songs relating to the Christmas season. In Andalucía, especially in the province of Cádiz, in places such as El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, Rota, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Chiclana the fiesta is known as Zambombá (with an accent on the last a) and the instrument as a Zambomba. These fiestas have become very popular and you will find them in numerous bars and restaurants in this area as the Christmas season approaches. In other parts of Spain these fiestas are known as Zambombadas. There is a fundamental difference between Zambombas and other flamenco fiestas; the Zambombas are fiestas where people freely participate while in other flamenco fiestas there is a separation between performers and the public. In the Zambombas, everyone participates by singing or playing some kind of instrument. In this way the individual character of the cante flamenco becomes a flamenco chorus. These next few weeks there will be Zambombás all around so if you go out walking in the afternoon/evening you are almost sure to come upon some of them. To make it a bit easier, here is a list of some of the ones in the local area. Stop by one of them and experience a bit of flamenco Christmas.

The view from CView La Taberna del Marinero La Taberna de la Marinera is one of the best seafood restaurants in El Puerto de Santa Maria and the surrounding area; an area famous for its fine seafood restaurants. Its owner, Adolfo, is a serious sport fisherman and is fanatical about only allowing the best and freshest seafood to be served. The menu is excellent and superbly executed and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Sitting at your table you will enjoy the vistas of the yachts in Puerto Sherry, the sea and Cadiz beyond as the professional staff attends you. This is a fine restaurant with a sophisticated clientele.When my parents came to town and asked for seafood we went there. We had an enjoyable evening and an excellent meal. Having learned that the many Americans living in the Vistahermosa, El Aguila, Las Redes, El Manatial and Fuentebravia areas are unable to find a good restaurant serving food in the early evening at US standard dining times, La Taberna de la Marinera has decided to commit to serving a full menu from their fine kitchen, Fridays and Saturdays starting at 18:30. If you come before 20:00 you will be invited to a welcome aboard glass of wine or other drink as well as an excellent tapa. Groups of 6 and more can call a day or two ahead and reserve a table early any afternoon (17:30 on). This restaurant has a full staff, much experience and is used to handling large groups (parties, celebrations) and arranging delicious menus for every budget.

Ajedrez Beach Club You still have time to enjoy a wonderful afternoon or evening at Ajedrez Beach Club before they close for their vacation. They close for the season on December 9th and will reopen on February 27th. Last week we spent a delicious Sunday afternoon there. The food was superb as always and the weather was so mild that we ate outdoors and topped everything off with a coffee on their chill out terrace. Ajedrez Beach Club is located just after Costa Ballena, before Chipiona. To make finding it easier, refer to the GPS coordinates on the ad on this page.
Venta La Rufana and Hacienda La Torre Venta La Rufana and Hacienda La Torre are open again after their vacation. It is good to have them back. To me Venta La Rufana is the place to find local comfort food and you can count on everything being good every time. Their servings are very generous and the prices are very good. Across the road, Hacienda La Torre is more for special occasions and parties. Now they have special Christmas menus for groups starting at just 28 euros per person so if you are considering a group event, stop by and see them.
Matías Lebrón Last week we advertised a shop window with 50% off, however the contents of the shop window moved inside into two show cases. Everything in those cases is still 50% off, it is just that the things are now inside since Matías Lebrón decided to decorate
