Rice with Cod

The Torres Brothers’ Spanish Chef recipe. Tip: Rice should be cooked with fish/shrimp broth.
The secret of taste is the addition of paprika during the preparation process, and the “zest” of cauliflower gives an original taste to this dish.

Summary

Ingredients

• 150 g cod
• 2 cups round rice
• 200 g tomatoes preserved in their juice

4. Add dried paprika, black pepper, salt to taste to the onion fry.
5. Pour a can of tomatoes preserved in their juice into the resulting mixture.
6. We simmer everything together over low heat.
7. Then gradually we begin to add rice. Mix everything thoroughly.
8. Slowly pour in the cold broth. Portions, for 20 minutes, stirring the rice constantly.

12. For the final gesture, finely grate cauliflower and lime/lemon zest and mix.
13. When serving the rice on a plate, sprinkle the dish on top with the resulting lime and cauliflower zest, add a couple of cooked shrimp (you can avoid using shrimp if not available), and garnish with parsley.
