Spanish Paella
Serves 6-8
2 small raw blue swimmer crabs
8 large green prawns
8 small black mussels
3½ cups fish/chicken stock
1 teaspoon saffron threads
180g chorizo sausage, sliced
200g chicken thighs, halved
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped finely
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 x 400g canned tomatoes
1½ cups Arborio or Spanish rice
300g whole pipis, purged
½ cup frozen peas
1 small roasted red capsicum, sliced
1. Remove flap from the undersides of crabs
then flip crab over. Place your thumb
under the shell between the two back legs
and slowly pull the shell away from the
body. Discard. Remove the feather like gills
and front feelers and discard. Carefully
rinse the crab if needed – do not put under
running water. Using a sharp knife cut the
body in half; then cut between the smaller
legs to make 4 pieces. Crack the large
nippers with crab crackers; this will help
the heat get into the shell.
2. Peel four of the prawns and devein. Leave
the other four whole for presentation. Clean
and de-beard mussels.
3. Place stock and saffron in a saucepan
and heat gently to infuse. Cover and keep
warm.
