Recipe of Christmas rice ⛄🎄
Christmas rice is a festive dish that combines luxury seafood with the deep flavor of fish stock, ideal for special celebrations. This rice recipe with carabineros, clams, and mussels is inspired by the Mediterranean tradition of fish rice dishes but elevated with premium ingredients that make it the star of your Christmas table. The key lies in the sofrito with leek, tomato, smoked paprika, and ñora pepper paste, which gives it an unmistakable color and aroma.
This dish is perfect for those looking for a creamy and flavorful rice without complications, as its difficulty is easy. It is cooked in a paella pan with a controlled method: first, the rice is toasted, then the broth and seafood are added, and it is finished over the heat. The carabineros are reserved and added at the end to keep them juicy. This recipe serves 4 people, and you can adapt it with other seafood if carabineros are not available.
If you are wondering what Christmas rice is, it is simple: a festive rice with quality products and a flavor that evokes coastal tradition. Dare to make it and surprise your guests with a dish that smells of the sea and celebration.
