Black Rice 🦑 Paella with Garlic Mayonnaise!
We Valencians love getting together with family or friends on Sundays to enjoy a good paella, so… Today I didn’t make a traditional paella, but I did whip up a black rice dish instead! I served it with garlic mayonnaise, which is a must in my house whenever we have this kind of rice.
Living here in the U.S., some ingredients are a bit tricky to find — like squid ink — but I found some little cans of squid in its ink from the brand GOYA that work perfectly! Plus, they’re imported from Spain! As for the fish stock, I buy it ready-made because it’s hard to find the right fish here to make a good homemade broth.
Even so, it turns out amazing, and my husband and I feel like we’re at a beachside chiringuito while we eat it!! 😎☀️🌊🥘🍻

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, heat up your paella pan with a good drizzle of olive oil! (If you don’t have a paella pan, you can use a large, wide frying pan instead.)
- 2
Peel and chop the onion, then sauté it in the pan.
- 3
Next, finely chop the piquillo pepper and add it in with the onion. (If you’re using fresh red bell pepper instead, add it before the onion.)
- 4
Peel and chop the garlic cloves, then add them to the pan to sauté as well.
- 5
Now it’s time to toast the rice (1/2 cup = 2 people). This will help keep it from overcooking 😉.
- 6
Heat the broth in the microwave since for now it’s just 1 cup (2 people), or use a small saucepan if you’re making rice for more people.
- 7
Open the two cans of squid in its ink and add them to the pan with the rice and the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything together well.
- 8
Pour in the hot fish stock, taste for salt, and add more if needed.
- 9
Let the rice cook and absorb the broth without stirring it. Start with medium heat, and as you see the broth reducing, either keep the heat steady or turn it up a little. You want the rice grains to be cooked but separate, not mushy
- 10
For the Garlic Mayonnaise 🧄:
In a tall blender cup, add a room-temperature egg, a mild olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a finely chopped garlic clove.
- 11
Place the immersion blender all the way at the bottom, turn it on, and don’t move it up and down until the mixture starts to thicken and change color.
- 12
Keep blending until it reaches your desired consistency.
- 13
Plate up the rice, top it with a little spoonful of garlic mayonnaise, and dig in!

Garlic & Soy Sauce Fried Rice ♫ With Mayonnaise Garlic & Soy Sauce Fried Rice ♫ With Mayonnaise
My kids said they wanted to eat crumbly fried rice! That was what got me making this ^ ^When making the scrambled egg, if you're using a Teflon non-stick pan, you don't need oil.If the rice is soft it has too much moisture, and won't become crumbly. So I recommend using regular to firm rice.When making multiple servings, it's a bit of a pain, but I recommend limiting how much you make to 2 servings at once. It cooks more efficiently this way.

Mayonnaise and Egg Rice Bowl Mayonnaise and Egg Rice Bowl
I heard somewhere that omelets turn out fluffy if you add some mayonnaise to the egg, so I thought: rather than using mayonnaise as a hidden ingredient why not add plenty of it so you can taste it. The result was something that was surprisingly delicious.The amount of mayonnaise and soy sauce is approximate. Please refer to the photos. It may seem like a lot of each, but since it's all mixed up with rice afterwards you need to flavor it rather strongly or it won't taste so good. For 1 serving. Recipe by Momopi- -

Black Rice Country Bread Black Rice Country Bread
This bread is sometimes at my local bakery that I frequent. I had black rice at home as well, and it turned a nice color when I cooked it together with regular white rice, so I figured I would try my hand at making some bread with it.Make sure the black rice and broth have cooled completely. This amount of water listed here is for foreign wheat flour (America, Canada etc.). If you are using domestic flour, then it might turn into a sticky dough unless you use less water than this. Leave out 2-3 tablespoons at first and please add more while checking the status of the dough. Recipe by Hiyashinsu
