Smoked Seafood Paella
This is a recipe that came about after we experimented with making paella in the
waterpan of the
ProQ®
and it worked extremely well but we’re sure most paella
recipes would work with the same method, so if you have a favourite, feel free to
use it.
Ingredients
Step 1
Make sure your waterpan is nice and clean, and get your fire lit, then put
the waterpan in the top of the stacker (use 2 stackers, the top one to cook on).
Step 2
Put the lard in the pan and wait for it to melt, then fry off your onion,
paprika, and peppers for about 5 minutes before adding the chorizo and frying for
a further 5, with some wood on the fire and the lid shut.
Step 3
Add your rice to the pan and fry for about 5 minutes before adding about
½ a cup of white wine and ½ a cup of chicken stock, allow the rice to soak up the
juice, adding the stock and wine alternately when it has been soaked up, do this
until you have used all the wine and half the stock.
Step 4
Add the monkfish and tiger prawns, then stir well and add the rest of the
stock. Cover the pan with a lid or some foil (as well as the lid on the smoker) and
leave for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Add the rest of the prawns, then the mussels and finally the squid, leaving
5 minutes between each, and keeping the pan covered and the lid on the smoker.
Step 6
Once the mussels have opened, sprinkle with parsley take the waterpan
out and serve!
