Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked long grain rice
- 0.5 teaspoon saffron threads
- 2.5 cups fish stock
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 0.5 medium white onion
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 medium orange bell pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh corn kernels
- 8 oz lump crab
- 2 tablespoons parsley flakes
- 8 oz fish
- 0.25 cup white wine
Instructions
- 1Finely chop cooked long grain rice to mimic the texture of cauliflower rice.
- 2In a small bowl, gently crush the saffron threads and steep them in 2 tablespoons of warm fish stock for at least 15 minutes.
- 3Heat light olive oil in a large paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped white onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add granulated garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4Add the finely chopped cooked long grain rice to the pan and stir to coat it evenly with the oil and aromatics. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- 5Pour the saffron-infused fish stock, white wine and the remaining fish stock into the pan. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 6Add diced orange bell pepper and fresh corn kernels to the pan. Stir to combine.
- 7Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the "rice" has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender.
- 8Arrange the lump crab and fish evenly over the "rice". Cover the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the shellfish is cooked through.
- 9Garnish with fresh parsley flakes and serve immediately.
