Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

350g short pasta shapes (we used orzo )
1 chicken stock cube
1 tsp turmeric or a large pinch of saffron strands
85g chorizo , diced
200g pack mixed cooked seafood
2 roasted red peppers ,from a jar, sliced
100g frozen pea
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in lots of water following pack instructions, with the stock cube and half the turmeric or saffron. About 7 mins before the pasta is cooked, tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until slightly crisp. Tip out some of the fat, then add the remaining turmeric or saffron, seafood, peppers and peas.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving some of the stock. Tip the pasta back into the pan, add the chorizo and seafood mixture and a splash of the reserved stock, and heat through. Stir in most of the parsley.
  • Serve in warm bowls, with the remaining parsley sprinkled on top.

Fideua (pronounced FID-a-wah), a dish associated with Valencia -- where paella supposedly originated -- is essentially paella using noodles in place of rice. The noodles of choice are fideos, thin strands often sold in coils and found in Spanish and Latin American markets.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound fideo or other very thin pasta, in 2-inch lengths or shorter
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound cockles or small clams, well washed
1 pound mussels, well washed
1/2 cup stock (optional)
8 to 12 large shrimp, shells on
4 to 8 sea scallops, cut in half through their equators
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Put oil in a skillet at least 12 inches across, and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later add noodles; sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring almost constantly, until they darken. Try to avoid letting more than a few pieces blacken.
  • Add saffron, paprika and garlic, and stir for a minute more. Add clams and mussels and about 1/2 cup water (or stock) and continue to cook, stirring. Depending on how much liquid the clams and mussels release, you may have to add a little more liquid. Continue to cook and stir until the pasta is nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and scallops and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Stir in parsley, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve with lemon wedges.
