There is some confusion with Rossejat de Fideus and Fideuà. In Catalan, fideus means noodles, so both dishes have noodles as main ingredient. The difference lies in the size of the noodle, the way to cook it, the ingredients and the procedure of the dish.
Fideuà is a little more complicated dish... similar to Paella but with noodles; Rossejat de Fideus is so easy and quick. Click here to get the Fideuà recipe and here for the Allioli one... you will need it :D.
So, the Toasted noodles are typical from the South Catalonian coast and Fideuà is from Valencia. The noodles we will use for this dish should be number 2. Just make sure to prepare a good tasty fish stock and the Rossejat will be done :D.
Ingredients for 4 servings: 400 grs of nº2 noodles, 1 ripe tomatoe, 2 garlic cloves, olive oil, a tablespoon and a half of fresh parsley and salt. For the fish stock: A piece of fresh monkfish head and some rock fish, a leek, a carrot, a branch of celery and an onion.
- Get all ingredients for the stock fish cleaned, peeled and ready. Get a deep pot, put all ingredients in, cover with water (minimum 2 liters). Bring to boil. Take the white foam off and simmer with the lid on for 20 minutes.
- Once done, strain and maintain hot.
- Grate the tomatoe and reserve. Mince the garlic cloves and the parsley and reserve.
- Take a paella pan, pour some olive oil in it (just enough to cover the surface) and heat. Throw the noodles in and stir until they become toasted.
- Pour the tomatoe, garlic and parsley in and stir for 30 seconds.
- Pour 3/4 of a liter to 1 liter of the fish stock (it has to be boiling).
- Taste and add salt if necessary.
- You should cook the noodles until they absorb all the stock or until they achieved their package cooking time.
- Let it rest for 1 minute and serve with some allioli on.
You don't want to miss this dish!!!! The noodles get all the fish stock flavour and their toasted texture is something really special to try.
