Are you on the lookout for easy, midweek, family meals? If so, then add this Portuguese Seafood Rice recipe from 44 Foods to your repertoire! The ethical and sustainable online grocery shop, which works with some incredible British farmers and producers,  is a great way to buy local, fairly produced and sourced food and drinks, at very reasonable prices – and they’ll deliver your order straight to your door.

I was certainly impressed with the ingredients they sent me for the recipe, all relatively minimally packaged, and ranging from fresh vegetables (including the most enormous bulb of garlic!) to fresh fish from a Cornish fishmonger.

 

44 Foods Portuguese Seafood Rice - Ingredients

 

This Portuguese seafood rice recipe is right up my street. A simple dish that I can cook around the toddler during the week, plenty of veg, high in protein and full of flavour.

It was delicious, too, and the toddler devoured it, which is the key! Tender vegetables, the bite of Arborio rice, the fresh fish and seafood and the warmth of the paprika came together to produce a plate of food that I’d be equally happy with served either outdoors with salad in the summer, or as a hearty warmer in the winter.
