COOKBOOK: Magazine Cut Out
RATE: ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻💲
Delicious! This recipe mentions mixed marinara which you can buy from your local supermarket in the frozen food aisle or your local seafood shop. I had smoked salmon pieces, octopus and prawns which I defrosted and cooked up for this paella. I did cook the salmon separately because these fillets cook in minutes and are not very firm in texture. I added the cut up cooked salmon at the end of the recipe and it was delicious.
Definitely an easy recipe to follow but ‘easy' does not refer to in anyway as a ‘quick’ recipe. It will take some time to prep (unless you buy the pre mixed marinara). There is still many more ingredients that require chopping and this can be time consuming.
Worth the preparation time? Absolutely YES YES YES!!
