2-3 people
Difficulty: easy
Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
170 g of bomba rice
50 g Iberian bacon
1 octopus leg
30 g of caramelized onion (without sugar)
50 g of crushed tomato
1 tablespoon tomato concentrate
1 tablespoon of ñora meat
600 ml of mild stock
4 sauteed wild asparagus
mild aioli
extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Preparation:
Cut the bacon into thin strips and reserve. Cut the cooked octopus leg into slices and reserve.
Next, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil, place over high heat and brown the bacon, remove and set aside. Then add the octopus slices and let them brown slightly, remove and set aside. In the same oil, add the rice, the concentrated tomato, the ñora paste, the caramelized onion and the crushed tomato, mix and leave until the rice is pearly.
Let's pour the hot fumet and let it cook over medium-high heat for 18 minutes, after that time we remove the paella from the heat and put the bacon, the octopus and some pieces of wild asparagus sautéed in a little oil, cover and let it rest 5 minutes.
Lastly, just before serving, add a few dots of mild aioli and all that remains is for us to devour it.
