So, what about Portuguese paella – of course made with sardines
Peppers (a red and a green, remember the Portuguese flag
), sardines, red onion, tomatoes, green beans, lemon & parsley
Get the vegetables ready
Test if the pan is hot enough by splatting some wine in it – Hmmmm, perfect
Fry the vegetables in the wine and some lemon juice....
....add the rice....
....and the tomatoes....
....and the green beans....
....mix it all up....
....and then prepare your sardines. I like living dangerously so I always use John West, I like a bit of Russian Roulette with botulism
....add the sardines....
....and keep it on the boil.
For the full Portuguese effect, serve on a green plate....
....and a red plate
Now, anyone (BongoPlod?) who doubts that we really do this will be reassured to learn that we were just serving this up yesterday when, who should poke their heads around the sliding door but Harry & Trish (hatris) – and Trish kindly took a photo in evidence.
I give you Portuguese Paella, m’Lud
Doesn't Christian look good in his work clothes. I will have to ring ahead next time and get myself a plateful. If there is green beans in it does that mean your mother-in-law would enjoy that one? Nice to see you both Muz. Enjoy your holiday. Trish
