Rossejat de fideus is a traditional Spanish dish made with short, thin noodles that are toasted in olive oil until they are golden brown and then cooked in a flavorful broth with onions, tomatoes, and seafood. The dish is typically served with a side of aioli sauce, which is made from garlic, olive oil, and egg yolks.
Heat a large paella pan or oven-safe casserole dish over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the noodles. Toast the noodles, stirring constantly, until they turn golden brown.
Remove the noodles from the pan and set them aside.
In the same pan, sauté the onion, garlic, and red pepper until the onion is translucent.
Add the grated tomato, smoked paprika, and saffron. Cook for a few minutes until the tomato has cooked down.
Add the toasted noodles and pour the fish or seafood broth over them.
Bring to a boil and add the mixed seafood.
Cook for about 5 minutes or until the seafood is cooked through.
Remove from the heat and place the pan in the preheated oven.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the noodles have absorbed all the liquid and have a crispy texture on top*.
Serve hot and enjoy!
