Seafood Linguine With Chorizo And Saffron Recipes

SPANISH SEAFOOD PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in lots of water following pack instructions, with the stock cube and half the turmeric or saffron. About 7 mins before the pasta is cooked, tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until slightly crisp. Tip out some of the fat, then add the remaining turmeric or saffron, seafood, peppers and peas.
• Drain the pasta, reserving some of the stock. Tip the pasta back into the pan, add the chorizo and seafood mixture and a splash of the reserved stock, and heat through. Stir in most of the parsley.
• Serve in warm bowls, with the remaining parsley sprinkled on top.

SEAFOOD LINGUINE WITH CHORIZO AND SAFFRON

Steps:

• In the Copper Epicurious 4 quarts sauté pan, warm the olive oil over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside.
• Add the mussels, clams, and shrimp to the pan and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and juice, clam juice, cooked chorizo sausage and saffron and simmer on low until the mussels and clams open. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine until it is al dente. Drain the noodles and add to the Copper Epicurious 4 quarts sauté pan with seafood. Toss until mixed. Garnish the pasta with basil, oregano, green onions and serve with fresh lemons.

SPECIAL SEAFOOD & SAFFRON PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and have a bowl of cold water to hand. Cut a small cross in the base of each tomato and add to the hot water, then after 15 secs, scoop out with a slotted spoon (but keep the water boiling for the pasta) and plunge into the cold water. Leave the tomatoes to cool for 30 secs, then remove. Use a small sharp knife to peel away the skin, starting at the base where you made the cross. Cut each tomato into quarters then cut out and discard the seeds and any membrane. Cut into small dice, then set aside.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 2 mins less than it says on the pack. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan (you'll need to use one with a lid) and add the garlic, sizzle for 2 mins until just starting to turn golden, then push to one side of the pan. Increase the heat and add the prawns and scallops, fry for 1-2 mins until the prawns are pink and the scallops are just turning golden, then scoop out of the pan and set aside on a plate. Add the mussels, white wine, saffron (with its soaking liquid) and some seasoning. Cover the pan with a lid and leave to steam for 3 mins until the mussels open (discard any which stay closed).
• Add the lemon zest and juice and the cream to the sauce and check the seasoning. Drain the pasta and add this too, along with the prawns, scallops and diced tomato. Toss everything together, and bubble for another 2 mins, or until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce and is cooked through. Scatter with parsley and pine nuts and give everything a final toss together.

Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
