    • 3 garlic cloves finely minced
    • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
    • 2 pinches of saffron

    FOR THE SMOKY PAPRIKA DIP

    • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1-2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • Tabasco to taste for a spicier touch (Optional)

    SUGGESTED DIPPING INGREDIENTS

    • Mussels (cooked in 1-2 minutes)
    • Whole raw shrimp (cooked in 2-3 minutes)
    • Calamari rings (cooked in 3-4 minutes)
    • Chicken cubes (cook time depends on size)
    • Chorizo sausage meat in meatballs (cooked in 6-8 minutes)
    • Bell pepper strips
    • String beans (cooked in 6-7 minutes)
    • Green peas (cooked in 1 minute)
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Citrus wedges (to taste and to garnish)

    2 pounds of mussels (1-2 minutes), 250 grams of whole raw shrimp (2-3 minutes), 250 grams of calamari rings (3-4 minutes), 400 grams of chicken (according to the size of the pieces), 1 basket of string beans (6-7 minutes), 2 cups of green peas (1 minute), 1 basket of miniature tomatoes (according to the desired consistency.)

  • Preparation

    • Pour the white wine in a large pot and reduce to half. Add all the other ingredients to the broth except the salt and pepper, bring to a boil and lower the heat to let simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and rectify seasoning.
    • Combine all the rice ingredients in a medium sized pot, cover with a lid, bring to a boil and cook on very low heat, without removing the lid for 20 minutes.
    • Combine all the ingredients of the dips in separate bowls. Mix well.
    • Display the garnishes in a serving plate and decorate with lemon slices if desired.

    A few tips

    • For a beautifully tinted yellow aioli, prepare it 24 hours in advance: the saffron will have time to colour the preparation.
    • Simplified rice option: It is possible to prepare white rice and infuse it with a small amount of fondue broth.
    • Use the remaining broth to create a soup meal!
