Howdy!
There’s a dish - it’s South American in origin - that contains a big variety of seafood - lobster, crab, mussles, prawns, scallops, etc. I believe it’s a tomato base and it’s baked - typically in a large stone dish. Generally it’s served at large family get togethers - weddings, christenings, etc.
Can anyone either a) tell me what it’s called so I can do a google search, or even better, b) give me a recipie?
Thanks!
Are you thinking of ceviche?
Sounds to me like Brazilian Fish Stew.
Humm - it’s neither of those, although they’re sort of the right idea.
This dish has a much wider variety of seafood in it, and seafood is the dominant theme - as opposed to the fish in recipes you guy’s listed.
However, I do think it might have corn on the cob featured as a garnish.
I saw it featured on Food network on the show with that really tall chef with the beard, who travels all over the place eating food. He was in South America and they made the dish.
Oops, I missed the “baked” part. I guess that rules out ceviche.
Would paella be close?
YES!!
Woo hoo!
So - now that I know what it is, and have a recipie - can anyone suggest what I can replace the chicken stock with? The only meat-type product I eat is seafood so I would prefer not to have nasty bird-flu chicken juice in my paella, if possible.
You can buy bottled clam broth in most grocery stores. There is also canned vegetble stock, or it’s pretty easy to make your own–just simmer onion, celery, parsley, garlic, etc. in enough water to cover.
