Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 & 3/4 cups each : chicken stock/broth & beer
½ teaspoon saffron
12 shrimp, peeled and cleaned
12 baby octopus, cleaned*
12 Manila clams, scrubbed clean*
12 black mussels, beards removed and scrubbed clean*
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces pork longaniza, cut into small pieces (Spanish chorizo is fine)
2 tablespoons minced tarragon
1 tablespoon minced oregano
2 cups fideo noodles OR any grain/pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
SOFRITO :
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 onions, thinly sliced
2 green bell pepper, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons mined oregano
1 tablespoon minced thyme
3 Roma tomatoes, diced (seeds and all)
GARNISHES :
1 tablespoon minced tarragon
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • 1.> Preheat oven to 375°F. 2.> Pour oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet, over medium-low heat. Add all sofrito ingredients into skillet, except tomatoes, and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Allow mixture to caramelize for about 1½ hours, stirring occasionally. 3.> Stir in tomatoes and cook down an additional 30 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow sofrito to cool completely. 4.> Pour stock and saffron into a medium saucepan, place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Poach seafood in the saffron-infused stock, one type at a time, until shrimp and octopus have just cooked through and the clams and mussels have just opened. Remove from stock and set aside, covered. 5.> Pour oil into a 14"-16" paella pan (or heavy-bottomed skillet) and place over medium-high heat. Brown longaniza for about 1-2 minutes and remove from pan. Set aside. 6.> Drain all but 2 tablespoons of grease from pan and add fideo, longaniza and ¼ cup sofrito to pan and season with salt and pepper. Stir together and sauté for about 2 minutes. 7.> Pour hot stock over fideo mixture and bring to a boil. Once mixture has come to a boil, add octopus back into pan (gently tucking each piece down into fideo mixture). Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated and fideo has cooked through. Uncover, raise heat to high and cook for 3-4 minutes to create socarrat, or crispy, golden crust. 8.> Remove from heat and top with remaining poached seafood (warm seafood slightly, if needed). Finish with a sprinkle of tarragon and lemon wedges. Serve.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but it had potential. I think next time I'll add more spices and herbs to the broth.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think next time I'll use less salt in the broth.

Not a fan of seafood, but this dish was surprisingly good! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again, but with chicken instead of seafood.
