Answers:
PAELLA (serves 6)
1/3 cup of Olive Oil
1 Small Onion, minced
2-3 cloves of garlic, crushed
3-5 tbsps minced fresh parsley
1 generous pinch of saffron
2 tbsps of chicken bullion
3 skinless Chicken Breasts, cut in large chunks
2 green peppers, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 tsp of yellow food coloring (optional -- saffron is very expensive, a pinch
of it is all you need for taste but a richer color is desired)
8 oz tomatoe sauce
1 tsp sugar
4 cups of rice
7 cups of water
salt
1/2 lb - 1 lb shrimp, leave shell on
1 lb scallops
Saute onion, parsley, and garlic in olive oil until the onion begins to become transparent. Add saffron, chicken bullion, chicken, peppers and saute until chicken has become white. Add tomatoe sauce, sugar, food coloring. Stir. Add rice & water and bring to boil. Salt to taste. Boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp & scallops, boil an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Simmer 10 minutes covered, stirring occasionally. If the rice appears to be getting too dry during the last 10 minutes, add more water. If the rice is too wet at the end of the 10 minutes, uncover and evaporate unwanted liquid.
ENJOY!

1 large white onion, chopped
handfull of peas(frozen)
3 rashers of streaky bacon, chopped(optional)
1 tsp paprika(optional but just adds to the dish!)
1 tsp olive oil
handful of grated cheese, cheddar is best
salt and freshly ground pepper
1. fry the cooked diced spud till just turning brown, don't overcook!
put them to one side.
2. now fry the onion and bacon till the onion softens and caramelises abit and the bacon is just starting to crisp, again don't overcook.
3. chuck in the paprika with the peppers and peas and fry altogether for a few minutes then add the salt and pepper.
4. add the fried spud and cook for a minute.
5. add the beaten eggs and turn the heat down low for about 10mins
6. sprinkle over the cheese
7. put the pan under a pre-heated grill for a couple of minutes till cheese is lightly browned on top.
serve as you wish but be warned, the potato stays hot for ages after cooking so don't burn your mouth!
It may seem complicated(it's not really) but is worth the effort, i promise.
VERY tasty and surprisingly filling just like me!
Enjoy!
Seafood Paella
I like baccalau.
Baccalau a la Bizcaina: Salt Cod Bizcaine Style
For the fish:
1 pound salt cod
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons extra-vigin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
16oz canned diced tomatos drained
1/2 cup Manzanilla olives (about 25), cut in half
1/3 cup capers
1 pinch ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 pickled jalapenos, chopped (available in the Mexican section of any grocery store)
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
Salt, if necessary
1 pound small waxy, red potatoes, boiled
In a medium-size bowl put the cod fish, and cover with water and let it soak for 24 hours. Change the water a least 4 times in a period of 1 day. (It's important to do this process, otherwise the fish will be extremely salty). When the cod has finished soaking, clean, picking out any cartilage or bones. Shred into small pieces.
In a large saucepan heat the oil. When hot, add the onion and saute for about 3 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and saute until golden. Add the cod and stir, add the tomatoes and cover. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, add the olives, capers, cloves, cinnamon, and jalapenos. Mix well and let simmer for 2 more minutes, add the chopped parsley, taste for salt and add if needed. Add the boiled potatoes. Remove from heat.
Place in a medium soup bowl, accompanied with toasted crusty French bread.

El estilo espa?ol de los pescados y de las virutas sería mi preferencia o empanada espa?ola de la carne y de la patata o quizá incluso habas espa?olas en tostada. Apesadumbrado - no podría oponerme a él.
