Not going away this summer? Ardkeen Quality Food Store will bring the continent to you, we hosted a Paella Making Demonstration on Friday 3lst July, with Alvaro Vera and Raphael Fontugne (pictured above). The scintillating smell of the Mediterranean permeated the shop & there was a real doubt as to whether the huge pan would be able to serve the throngs who queued to have a taste. Paella fits perfectly with our Love Food Spend Less campaign as not only is it a rice based dish, it lends itself to whatever ingredients you have to hand, you can choose to use any combination of fish, shellfish & chicken, that maybe on special offer, as they all work well in a paella recipe.
Currently we have paella pans on special off at just €25 – so you can make this fantastic dish at home & the 1kg of De Cecco arborio rice is just €2.89.
There were two great Spanish wines to taste at the demonstration Castillo de Nava Verdejo & Egiarte Tinto Joven from the Lezaun Winery in the Navarra region.
Afterwards, Alvaro & Raphael stayed on to help Carmel, our wine buyer with a customer tasting of some more great Spanish wines.
Rain, what rain!
