Caldero murciano (Murcia-style Rice Cooked in Fish Stock)

Preparation

The idea is to make a fish stock in which to then cook the rice. Fry the ñora peppers in a pan until they release their aroma. In a mortar or processor crush the garlic cloves, parsley and ñora peppers, forming a thick sauce. Add this to a pan with the fish, the chopped tomato and water and cook for about one hour. Remove the fish and cook the rice in the resulting stock with a little salt.

This fishermen’s dish finds its perfect accompaniment in a dry white, preferably a young, aromatic one, such as those made at the DO Utiel-Requena from Sauvignon Blanc.
