We have loved every recipe we have tried from Rick Stein’s Spain. This is a really nice rice dish from Valencia which we’ll definitely be doing again. It tastes similar to paella but requires fewer ingredients. Delicious and easy! Arroz de rape, azafrán y pimientos – to serve 6 4 tbsp olive oil 75g finely [...]
