Great any time of year, this savory Spanish classic of yellow rice is chock full of seafood and seasoned with Old Havana Foods Sofrito Authentic Cuban Recipe.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Old Havana Foods Sofrito Authentic Cuban Recipe
- 1 cups Broth, seafood, vegetable or chicken
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, fresh preferred, from 1 large or 2 small limes
- 4 ounces Dry, light white wine, sauvignon blanc, rose and pinot grigio are good options
- 1/2 Cup Sweet peas (petit pois) if using canned drain and reserve peas and liquid separately
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper, more to taste
- 1 pinch Saffron, crumbled optional
- 1 cup Long grain white rice jasmine or basmati preferred
- 1 pounds Raw seafood, such as shrimp, scallops, clams, musssels, lobster, octopus, squid and firm white fish pieces no larger than 1 to 1½ inches thick
- 1 link Old Havana Foods Spanish Style Chorizo Sausage (optional) sliced into rounds 1/4" thick
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a 4 to 6 quart stockpot over medium heat, combine Old Havana Foods Sofrito Authentic Cuban Recipe, broth, lime juice, wine, liquid from peas, black pepper, saffron (if using) and rice to stockpot.
- Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to lowest setting; cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- If using fresh or frozen peas add all of them at the 10 minute mark stirring well to spread throughout, then add seafood pieces, tucking them into the partially cooked rice mixture to nearly cover. If inclucing our Spanish Style Chorizo add the sliced rounds now. Cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes until seafood and rice are cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. If using canned peas add ½ of them now, stirring gently to combine. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes. Top with remaining peas. Serve.
Notes
Try a mixture of any quick cooking fish or seafood. If using fully cooked seafood, add during the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking the rice to avoid getting overcooked, dry or chewy seafood.
