This week we met up with Tapas 24 for a traditional Spanish dish; Catalan Fideua. It’s similar to paella but with a little twist, it’s made with noodles instead of rice. This is a great dish for a family dinner, or even your next party as this recipe is big enough for five people to enjoy and it’s sure to impress your guests.
Ingredients
- 18 oz Fideus (siender noodles)
- 1 1/4 cup onions- finely chopped
- 11/4 cup green peppers, diced
- 5 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
- 9 oz tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 2 lb cuttlefish, diced
- 11/4 cup fish stock
- 15 half-ounce tiger shrimp
- 11/4 cup monkfish, diced
- 20 mussels
- Parsley finely chopped
