Remember the Rennie mystery box blogger’s challenge from a few days ago? Well, I was one of the lucky *ahem chosen ones, my mystery ingredient was revealed at the event. So drumrolls I managed to get Espelette pepper in my mystery box. Doing some research, I learned espelette pepper is a French pepper used in the Basque regions. It’s sweet with subtle heat and you know since it is used in France and Spain I decided to use it in a Paella using my friend Miss Torregrosa recipe with a twist.
Here are the recipe and ingredients.
- 5 large tiger prawns
- 2 tuna steaks
- 1 cod fillet
- ½ teaspoon of espelette pepper
- ½ teaspoon of pimento
- 1 sachet of paella powder
- dill and basel leaves
- 500ml of chicken stock
- 250g of paella rice
- 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch of saffron
- 1 lemon
- ½ peas
- First of all make a foil evenlope and add the saffron inside, add it to the paella pan cooking both sides for 10 seconds. Remove and leave on the side.
- Add the olive oil into the pan and add the tuna, cod and prawns. Once it starts to colour add some salt and pepper then the paella powder and espelette pepper.
- Once mixed you can add the chicken stock, leave to simmer for a minute then add the saffron and rice and the herbs, peas.
- Leave to cook for 15 minutes, then add some pimento powder.
- Leave to stand for 2 minutes then mix together.
- It is now ready to be served with a wedge of lemon.
