Book Description
From Publishers Weekly
Determined to rescue paella from what the author calls its "worldwide ignominy," Casas (Tapas) offers 58 enticingly authentic recipes, most drawn from Spain's eastern coast. Cooks weary of risotto, or those simply tired of all
the stirring it entails, will be attracted to the intriguing combinations of flavors that can be achieved with this other Mediterranean approach to short-grained rice. The grain imported from Spain is best, says Casas, but Arborio is more than
acceptableAand while a paella pan is similarly preferred, a shallow casserole dish also works well. Preparation is within easy reach for anyone: saut? ingredients briefly, add rice, add hot liquid, boil for several minutes, then pop in the oven to bake.
Dishes include Scallop and Wild Mushroom Paella; Golden Rice with Shrimp and Fresh Tuna; Crusted Paella with Pork, Chicken and Sausage; and Vegetable Paella with Spicy Garlic Sauce. Casas also includes paellas with squid, rabbit and duck. There is even a
Seafood Pasta Paella from Valencia that calls for no rice at all. The balance of the meal is covered with 25 recipes for tapas and first courses and another 25 for such desserts as Chocolate Flan with Almond-Flavored Chocolate Sauce and White Sangria
Sorbet with Melon and Kiwi. With Casas's demystifying help, good paella will be a revelation to many.
