FEATURED RECIPE

Every issue of Crumble is accompanied by a recipe suggested by a member of our network. In this issue we feature a recipe by Rosi Song, Professor and Deputy Head of School (Research) in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University (UK). This is a recipe shared recently by Dr Guillem Colom-Montero from the University of Glasgow , who brought Rosi as a gift a sobrassada from Mallorca (Spain) and has since become a favorite quick and tasty meal for her to make at home.

Sobrassada Rice


Ingredients½ onion, chopped½ leek – chopped (white parts with a bit of the light green parts)½ red bell pepper – chopped150gr or so of sobrassada* (in small chunks)1 cup bomba rice (rice to make paella)3-4 cups chicken or vegetable stock (hot – the stock should be seasoned with salt)½ cup white wineOlive oilSalt and pepper PreparationIn a paella style pan, put olive oil and start frying the onions, add the leek and the bell pepper, add the rice, the wine, and when evaporated, distribute the chunks of sobrassada on the rice and start ladling the already hot stock to the rice, mixing it slowly. Start with one ladle, and then once the base is mixed, add enough stock to generously cover the rice. Some ground pepper if desired. Bring to boil and then to soft boil or simmer, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, uncover and cook in low heat until liquid is absorbed. The rice should not be overcooked, and you can control how al dente you like your rice. Rest for about 5 minutes before serving. You can season with more salt and pepper if desired. Bon profit!!
