Portuguese Seafood Rice

Ingredients: (2 servings)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2-3 garlic cloves, minced

½ red bell Pepper, finely chopped

¼ cup white wine

½ cup canned crushed tomatoes / passata / strained tomatoes

½ cup rice

3 cups shrimp stock

Seafood: shrimp, squid rings, clams, mussels, crab meat

A few drops of piri piri sauce or any hot sauce

A handful of chopped cilantro

Preparation:

In a pot with olive oil, sauté the onions, garlic and bell peppers. Add the white wine and let it evaporate. Add the crushed tomatoes and the rice, stir well.

Add 2 cups of stock, stir, cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the seafood, hot sauce, cilantro, and more stock if necessary. Cover and let it simmer for a few more minutes until rice is tender but without absorbing all the stock. This dish will have a “soupy” consistency. 

Enjoy with a glass of dry White Wine or a glass of Portuguese Green Wine! Disfuten!!
