Daring Cook's Challenge : Rice with mushrooms, cuttlefish and artichokes





This new Challenge was chosen by Olga from Las Cosas de Olga and Olga’s Recipes, she has chosen a delicious Spanish recipe, Rice with mushrooms, cuttlefish and artichokes by José Andrés, one of the most important Spanish Chefs at the moment.
The making of this dish was in three steps: Sofregit, Aioli and the actual Rice.
I used little musky octopuses (moscardini) instead of cuttlefish and left them whole.
I really enjoied the Sofregit and the Aioli but I thought that the rice was a bit mild in flavour, it actually became much better with some Aioli.
