A wood-fired seafood stock for your paellas

El Paeller’s Wood-Fired Seafood Stock with Sofrito is a preparation inspired by the culinary traditions of the Valencia region. Made from shellfish and a traditional salmorreta, it brings the full richness of Mediterranean flavours to paellas and rice dishes.

Being cooked over a wood fire gives it a distinctive character, with delicately smoky aromas that complement the flavours of the seafood.

Mantis shrimp, crab and prawns for an intense seafood flavour

This stock combines several ingredients characteristic of Spanish seafood stocks: mantis shrimp (9.6 per cent), crab (1 per cent) and prawn heads (0.6 per cent).

Mantis shrimp, a crustacean particularly prized in Mediterranean cuisine, lend the stock a rich and distinctive seafood flavour.

Combined with crab and prawns, they form an ideal aromatic base for preparing paellas and seafood rice dishes.

Salmorreta, a traditional ingredient in Valencian cuisine

The recipe also contains salmorreta, a typical preparation in Valencian cuisine made from tomatoes, garlic and sweet paprika.

This mixture adds depth to the stock and enriches its flavours. It is complemented by extra virgin olive oil, an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine.

Cooking over a wood fire for extra character

Cooking over a wood fire is part of the identity of El Paeller’s dishes. It brings out characteristic flavours reminiscent of paellas traditionally cooked over hot coals.

The stock thus combines the seafood flavours of shellfish with the aromatic notes of salmorreta and wood-fired cooking.

An ideal stock for paella and Mediterranean rice dishes

This stock with sofrito is particularly well-suited to making seafood paellas, prawn rice, shellfish rice and fideuà.

It can also be used to add extra flavour to fish and seafood dishes.

The inclusion of salmorreta provides a ready-made aromatic base, which is handy for preparing your Mediterranean recipes.

Serving suggestions

To make a seafood paella, sauté the ingredients of your choice, add the rice, then pour in the hot stock.

Cook according to your recipe’s instructions so that the rice absorbs the flavours of the shellfish, the salmorreta and the wood fire.
