Fideuá Negra

Toasted noodle paella, squid ink stock, shrimp, fava beans, peas, garlic allioli

Server Description
A traditional squid ink noodle paella with seared shrimp and vegetables. The squid ink sauce is slightly rich, yet earthy. We love mixing the garlic aioli into the fideos to make it nice and creamy.

procedure
  • In the pan with a little olive oil, put sepia and cook for 1 minute
  • Mix sofrito and picada with the sepia.
  • Add the toasted fideos. Mix well.
  • Add the squid ink stock, salt and taste. Bring to boil. Cook on the stove at low temperature for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Place in the oven until completely dry, about 5 minutes. Fideo noodle should be standing up & crunchy.
  • While the Fideuá is in the oven, season shrimp with salt & pepper and sear a la plancha.
  • Place fideua on top of the stove for a few seconds and place the fava beans, peas and seared shrimp on top.
  • Finish with allioli dots, and chives & dill on top.
  • Squeeze the lemon over the top.

critical control points
  • Finish on the flat top and NOT the flame to get the socarrat
  • Fava and peas should NOT go into the oven, they need to be added at the end. No one wants mushy peas on their fideuá
