Enjoy the true taste of Spain and explore this fascinating country's love affair with paella
and the deliciously diverse ways in which rice and noodles are used in a multitude of
unmissable dishes. 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. This book brings together delicious rice dishes from all over Spain from regional
classics that are enjoyed around the world to unusual local specialities. Also included are
recipes 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. 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) and how to make the most of tasty ingredients
like garlic saffron and smoked paprika in your cooking. 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). Lovers
of authentic Spanish food will not be disappointed!
