Recipe of No-quinoa paella.
Vida Recetas Editorial
Quinoa takes center stage in this original 'No-paella', a light and healthy twist on the classic seafood rice dish. Originally from the Andes, quinoa provides complete proteins and a touch of turmeric gives it a golden color similar to saffron. This recipe is ideal for those seeking a quick, gluten-free, and flavorful meal, perfect for a weekday lunch or dinner.
Why does this recipe work?
Quinoa absorbs the juices from the sautéed vegetables, dogfish, and shrimp, creating a tasty and aromatic dish. By cooking the fish and seafood for just a few minutes, they remain tender and juicy. Plus, it can be made in advance, allowing the flavors to meld even more, resulting in an even more delicious experience when reheated.
Variations and tips
- You can substitute the dogfish with hake or monkfish.
- Add a bit of paprika or chili for a spicy kick.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the fish and shrimp and add more vegetables.
Serve your 'No-paella' with garlic bread and a well-chilled lemonade for a complete and refreshing meal.
