Black rice recipe with prawns and eels

Black rice is a traditional dish of Spanish gastronomy, which is made with squid or cuttlefish ink and retains all the flavor of the sea. Although there are many recipes that exist today, Val chef teaches us how to make black rice with prawns and eels, a dish that you cannot miss.

Ingredients to make black rice with prawns and eels:

• 1 package of eels
• 250 grams of prawns
• 2 glasses of rice
• sepia ink
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 onions
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 pinch of paprika (choice of sweet or hot)
• 1 piece of leek
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of black pepper

How to make black rice with prawns and eels:

1. On the one hand, we prepare a stock with the heads of the prawns, the leek and an onion, skimming when necessary for 25-30 minutes.
2.  At the end, we pass through the blender and strain it.
3. Meanwhile, in a pan brown the chopped onion, when it takes on some color add the garlic, the chopped red and green pepper and let it cool before adding the rice.
4.  Pearlite the rice and add the cuttlefish ink, after 2-3 minutes add the stock and let the black rice cook (2 glasses of stock for each glass of rice) for 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of rice.
5. If we have a hand left over while we make the rice, we can prepare the prawns and eels with a little garlic and oil, later adding a cayenne or paprika to give it a very characteristic spicy aftertaste.
6. Once the rice is ready, remove from heat and cover for 3-5 minutes to finish cooking.
7. We serve the black rice with prawns and eels. Bon Appetite:)
