Sant Jordi ( Saint George ) ..

The 23rd of April is the celebration of the Patron Saint, Jordi, and dates back to the year 1507.

Sort of similar to Saint Valentine´s Day, women receive roses from Gentlemen, and Gentlemen receive a book from the ladies. 

It is a truly lovely festive day, and it hails from the days of the the great literary authors. A literature and romance day. 

What is served on this day, is basically " CAZUELA MARINERA AL ESTILO DE CATALUNA " in all its varying forms ..

The ingredients include:
SAFFRON THREADS
EVOO
FISH BROTH FROM FISH STOCK HOME MADE
SHALLOT OR LEEK OR GREEN SCALLION
1 BULB OF FENNEL 
GARLIC CLOVES TO TASTE
4 TABLESPOONS OF CASIS LIQUOR OR WHITE WINE OF CHOICE OR SIDRA =
ASTURIAN SPARKLING CIDER
RED RIPE JUICY TOMATOES, PEELED AND DE - SEEDED
BAY LEAF
THE MEDITERRANEAN FRESH HERBS: BASIL, PARLSEY, OREGANO, THYME, SAVORY WINTER OR SUMMER  AND ROSEMARY 
1 DOZEN PRAWNS
LOBSTER, CRAB OR JUMBO PRAWNS 
MONKFISH OR GROUPER OR ANY OTHER FIRM FISH 
MUSSELS OR CLAMS OR BOTH 
BABY SEPIA ( SQUID AND / OR CALAMAR SLICED IN RINGS )
CLUSTERS OF BABY OCTOPUS (OPTIONAL)
SALT AND BLACK FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER TO TASTE
1 TINY DRIED HORN SHAPED RED PEPPER CALLED " GUINDILLA " (OPTIONAL )

THIS CAN BE PREPARED WITH  A WIDE VARIETY OF FISH AND SHELLFISH OR SEAFOOD TO ONE´s TASTE AND AVAILABILITY ..

IT IS NOT SERVED WITH RICE OR POTATOES.

IT CAN BE SERVED WITH VERMICELLI PASTA BROKEN TO SHORTER LENGTHS OR  "FIDEOS" WHICH ARE TINY SOUP NOODLES. ( PREPARE AL DENTE AS THEY SHALL BE SITTING IN BROTH AND YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT "MUSHY PASTA" ..  )

IT IS QUITE FILLING SO A TRI COLOR SALAD SHALL DO WITH SOME WONDERFUL CRUSTY BREAD.
