Description
Arroz de Marisco is more than a main: it is a route into Portugal’s Atlantic food story, with salt cod, seafood, olive oil, bread soups and convent sweets. The dish is built around salt cod, seafood, olive oil, garlic, eggs, pastry, rice, coriander and custard, giving it a flavour that feels both practical and deeply connected to its origin. It works especially well for summer seafood, family gatherings and menus with a strong sense of place, and it gives readers a clear way to understand how ingredients, technique and food history meet on the plate. This rice dish is packed with prawns, mussels, and clams in a fragrant, saucy base.
Instructions
- Sauté base, add rice, gradually add stock. Add seafood near end. Garnish and serve.
