A note about carrageenan: We’ve listened to your valuable feedback and made a small change to Marbella Paella by removing carrageenan! By simply removing carrageenan, it results in a texture change, making the food more gravy-like, though we have not added any water. Here’s how it works – carrageenan is a common food ingredient that helps thicken and stabilize foods for people and pets, and it helped to make the "aspic" texture in our previous recipes (aspic is the gel-like substance that binds the food and protects it, much like fruit in a Jello mold). The ingredients in aspic were carrageenan and vegetable gums, which start off as a powder, but when mixed with water and cooked take on a gel-like texture like Jello. With carrageenan removed and water content unchanged in our new recipes, the gel no longer forms, and the result is instead a gravy. As cooked fish is a bit delicate and flaky, you may find the pieces in gravy flake a bit before they get to you. If you can't bring your cat to Spain, bring Spain to your cat! Rich in Omega-3s, let kitty enjoy a paella mix of mackerel flakes, whole calamari, baby shrimp and mussels. Everything but the kitchen sink. Fabulosa!
