Ingredients for 3 persons:

  • 400 grams of “Albufera” rice
  • 12 red prawns
  • 500 grams of fresh chard (as fresh as possible)
  • 1 pear tomato, grated
  • 50 ml of white wine
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 1.5 litres of fish broth
  • A pinch of salt, at taste

Execution:

1.- Lightly fry (sauté) all the prawns in their shells and remove them from the heat. Set aside 4 of them for plating. Peel and chop the other 8 prawns into small pieces.

2.- In another pan, infuse the fish stock with the shells and heads of the 8 peeled prawns, for half an hour, at 90 C° degrees. Allow to cool, strain it and set it aside.

3.- Add the chopped onion to the pan where you sautéed the prawns and fry the chopped onion in the same oil.

4.-Once the onion is lightly fried, add the white wine and wait for it to evaporate.

5.- Add the chard, cut crosswise, and sauté until its water has evaporated.

6.-Add the rice and fry lightly.

7.- Add 1.2 litres of the infused fish stock and cook the rice.

8.-If necessary, add a little more fish stock, so that the rice is cooked and the recipe acquires a creamy texture.

9.- Five minutes before the rice is done cooking, add the chopped prawns, and when serving, add one whole prawn per person.
