This month's Daring Cooks challenge hosted by Olga from Las Cosas de Olga and Olga’s Recipes is Rice with Mushrooms, Cuttlefish and Artichokes. Since I'm allergic to fish and seafood I substituted chicken. This recipe is easy, delicious, time consuming, but a really fun challenge.
It included three elements: a Sofregit, Allioli, and the Rice. I have never had paella before but this dish came together quite easily. The allioli was a bit of a challenge for me because I didn't have a pastel and mortar. I used an immersion blender in a cylinder, which worked, but I had to keep scraping it out and it was a little frustrating. But the allioli really added a ton of flavor to the dish.
The recipe for this delicious meal can be found on the Daring Kitchen's website.

That looks great Barbara and good on you for thinking of a way to do the Allioli! :D
Nice job on the allioli:) Glad you figured out the printer button too:) Have a great weekend!
This really looks delicious, Barbara. Substituting chicken was a good choice. I don't think I've ever seen cuttlefish in the market. I'm sure it was well worth the time you put into it. I love trying new flavor combinations.
Looks great! Good job on the challenge.
This all looks very yummy! I've never tried cuttlefish.
Beautiful job!! Your dish looks wonderful, and the allioli sounds perfect =D.
Delicious. Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering if I could use a cup blender and it seems to work just love your pixs and the chicken version looks delicious. Cheers from Audax in Austrlia
Great looking dish - and nice photos :) I have to try chicken version myself! Cheers!
Wonderful job on this challenge. Looks and sounds incredible!
Well done indeed! Glad you found a way to make the recipe work for you. That's part of the fun (and sometimes the frustration LOL!!)
I love the picture montage you have! I've never heard of cuttlefish before, is there another fish I could use?
Looks really nice!
Barbara, your Paella looks great! I love the chicken version. I was going to chicken myself as my husband and daughter are allergic to fish, but my mother in law is visiting and she love everything fish, so the two of us had a feast.
Sounds delicious! What a fun way to get to try all sorts of new recipes.
I bet this was delicious!! I think I like it better with the chicken than fish.
Barbara! I just bought a pestle and mortar! Mom saw it tonight and almost stole it from me. lol
I like how the Daring Cooks are broadening their horizons!
Looks delicious and really love your photos!
This looks delicious, thank you for sharing.
Looks delicious! Good idea substituting chicken. I have never had cuttlefish before!
What is a cuttlefish?
My friend was doing this dish as well. I went to a major specialty store with her and they did not have cuttlefish. I know I have heard of cuttlefish, but that is about it. Great way to be resourceful by using good ole easy to find chicken instead! Love your site!
I have never had cuttlefish too... and I would sure love to try this dish! It looks delicious!
Scrumptious, tasty, I would love some. I occasionally see cuttlefish out and about so shall bookmark this. Yay for you and braving the challenge!
Well done, Barbara. This looks delicious! It's always fun to take on a challenge and cook something that you wouldn't typically prepare for your family.
That rice dish looks very tasty! Great job!
Cheers,
Rosa
My husband can't eat gluten so I am always looking for rice recipes. This sounds good.
