Lunch
- The Ultimate Paella
A few
weeks ago when our friend Ros was over here she asked if we liked
crayfish or crawdads as Mike calls them. Mike said “yes “.
I said “maybe”, having not remembered if I had ever had
them.
So
today she brought some over to us for Mike to add to his Ultimate
Paella recipe. We had had paella before, once in Spain and once
when Mike had made it It's basically a mix with a selection of meat
or fish which is cooked in a bed of rice colored with saffron. This
recipe Mike used was ingredient rich. It had 16 ingredients. I guess
that's why it's called the ultimate paella. I know as well as the
crawfish there was chicken, chorizo sausage, shrimp as well as a
number of spices and veggies. It looked great and tasted excellent.

It takes a while to cook but that was ok. I guess when you are making
one of these paella dishes you can choose your own meats or fish or
probably use just veggies. It comes out rather like a well cooked
gumbo or stew .
Mike
served it with a Yellow Tail chardonnay white Casella wine which was
just right for the meal. It was very light and refreshing.
I
always like these Yellow Tail wines and especially their logo which
is a hopping kangaroo because they are Australian wines.
This
one that you can see by my very poor and blurry photo is red and
orange .I guess they chose those colors to denote the hot climate.
I
guess if you drank the whole bottle the kanga might look like my
photo!!.
Great
lunch, nice company.
We
will have to do this again.
