Rice with cuttlefish, shrimp and pork chop

Rice is undoubtedly one of the king dishes of outings in the countryside or at Cincogema, especially on Sundays, and each group of friends has their own recipe. This is one of the variations of rice in a clay pot where fish, meat and vegetables play a role.

Ingredients

1/2 kilo of shrimp, 1 cuttlefish, 1/2 kilo of peeled pork chop, 12 mussels, 6 iron tomatoes, 1 green pepper, 1 small can of kidney beans, 1 small can of green beans, 4 garlic cloves, saffron or food coloring, 8 and a half glasses of water, 4 glasses of rice, olive oil and salt.

Preparation

The first thing we will do is put the mussels in a pot - we will have cleaned the shells well and removed the kind of thread they have inside -, with a glass of water, a splash of white wine, an onion cut in half, and a tomato we will boil them for about 10 minutes. We will let them cool and we will keep them aside.

Then we will cut the ingredients of the stir-fry as small and finely as we can, garlic, green pepper and tomatoes.

We will put the clay pot on the fire, add a good splash of oil and fry the prawns first, remove them and reserve them on a plate, and then fry the cleaned cuttlefish, cut into pieces. After removing the cuttlefish from the clay pot we will add the cutlets.

We will remember that we must put a pinch of salt to each ingredient.

After removing the ribs, it is time to add the garlic and green pepper. Let them cook over low heat and after five minutes add the crushed or grated tomato.

Let the stir-fry simmer over low heat and just before pouring in the water, add the cuttlefish and ribs and stir a couple of times.

Add the water, green beans and peas and let it boil. When the juice starts to boil, taste for salt, and it will be time to add the rice.

We will not stop stirring while the water is being absorbed and when we have been stirring for five minutes, it will be time to add the prawns.

When the rice is ready, decorate it with the mussels and cover it so that it rests for about five minutes. We can also decorate it with strips of canned red pepper.
