Portuguese Seafood Rice

A vividly savory Portuguese rice dish simmered with tomatoes, onion, garlic, white wine, prawns, mussels, and firm white fish. The rice stays brothy and tender, absorbing the sweetness of the seafood while fresh herbs and lemon keep the finish bright.

Comment préparer

1
Warm 30 ml of the olive oil in a wide, heavy 30 cm sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and smoked paprika and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
2
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the mixture darkens slightly and looks thick. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 3 minutes to reduce the sharp alcohol aroma.
3
Add the hot seafood stock and bring it to a lively simmer. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes so the grains cook evenly without catching on the base.
4
Nestle the cod pieces and mussels into the rice. Cover the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the prawns, cover again, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more. The fish should be opaque and flake easily, the prawns should be pink and firm, and the mussels should be open; the seafood should reach 63°C or higher, with any unopened mussels discarded.

5
Turn off the heat and drizzle over the remaining 15 ml olive oil. Cover and rest for 3 minutes; the rice should remain brothy rather than dry. Scatter with parsley and taste for salt.
6
Serve the rice immediately in warmed bowls with lemon wedges for squeezing at the table.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

A sofrito of onion, garlic, and paprika builds a deep base before tomatoes and seafood stock create a flavorful cooking liquid. Short-grain rice releases enough starch to make the dish naturally creamy while a late addition of seafood preserves its delicate texture.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Refrigerate leftovers in a shallow airtight container within 2 hours and use within 2 days. Remove mussels from their shells before storing if possible.

Comment la réchauffer

Reheat gently in a covered saucepan over medium-low heat with a splash of water or stock until steaming hot throughout, about 74°C; avoid vigorous boiling so the seafood stays tender.
