ingredients
- 1200ml chicken stock
- 4 good-sized garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Catalan oregano
- 1 tsp ground coriander seed
- 15 strands of saffron, crumbled
IN STOCK
- 8 Portobello mushrooms 10cm diameter
- 400g Mallorcan Porc Negre Hot Sobrasada, removed from the pack and brought to room temperature
IN STOCK
- 50ml Spanish brandy
- 2 tbsp Brindisa Arbequina olive oil
IN STOCK
- 400g 2mm fideus pasta
IN STOCK
- ½ cup breadcrumbs, preferably panko
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180°C; lightly oil a baking dish just large enough to hold the mushrooms in a single layer.
- In a saucepan, combine the stock with the garlic, oregano, coriander and saffron; cover, heat the stock and hold just at just below simmering.
- Remove the stems from the mushroom caps and discard.
- Work the brandy into the sobrasada; spread the sobrasada mixture on to the gill side of the mushroom caps, covering to the edge; cover each mushroom with 1 tbsp of breadcrumbs, press the crumbs into the sobrasada mixture.
- Place the mushrooms in the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes; remove from the oven and place on the stove next to the cooking paella.
- When the mushrooms have been cooking for about 20 minutes heat a 4 person paella pan over medium heat, add the olive oil followed by the pasta; stir the pasta well to coat with oil, add the stock and bring to a gently rolling boil; cook at the gentle boil until the liquid is almost all absorbed (approx. 8-10 minutes).
- Remove the paella pan from the heat, and place the mushroom caps on top of the pasta, evenly spaced.
- Spoon 125ml of the juices over the noodles (but not over the mushrooms) - if there is less than 125ml, add some water to the pan with the juices to make up the volume.
- Place the paella pan in the oven and bake until the juices and stock have been absorbed but the pasta is still moist and juicy (approx. 8-10 minutes).
- Remove the pan from the oven, allow to rest for a few minutes then serve.
