This quick and easy Paella recipe is easy enough for a weeknight meal, yet fancy enough to serve to dinner guests. Full of Spanish flair and amazingly tasty!
Paella is one of the world’s most famous rice dishes and one of my personal favorite dishes. When my husband really wants to pamper me he takes me out to eat paella. We have a couple of Spanish restaurants nearby that are very good, but they are also very expensive, so we go on only for really really really special occasions.
Some paella purists say that chicken and rabbit are mandatory, snails are optional, meanwhile fish and shellfish are absolutely out of the question. Unlike with a risotto, stirring is absolutely forbidden because you don’t want a creamy result, and so forth!
Chorizo And Prawn Paella
Honestly, I think that the most important thing is that the person who is cooking really enjoys the dish itself and the process of making it.
I do not claim that my recipe represents the traditional Spanish way of cooking Paella, but it’s pretty darn good and the fact that it comes together quickly in just one pot makes it even better.
BrothThis recipe turns out great using chicken broth, but if you want to make it even more special, you can usethis Cooking Broth for Valencian Paella. If using paella broth, mix 1 container (4 cups – 1000ml) + 1/2 cup chicken broth. You can omit the saffron because it is included in the paella broth.
All About Paella By Terramarimports
Rice:I used Uncle Ben’s original rice (long grain) because it was the one I had on hand, but Paella is supposed to be done with medium-grain rice. Some stores, such as Sur La Table and World Market, sell authentic rice for paella. You can also find it onAmazon.
Saffron:If you do not find/have thesaffronyou can use an envelope of thisseasoning mixthat is easy and cheaper to buy in any grocery store.
Paella Pan:This is thepaella panI used. If you don’t have a paella pan, use a 13- 15 inch or larger skillet. Try to find a heat source that can accommodate the whole paella pan or skillet. Depending on the configuration of your burners, you’ll need to place the pan over two burners or set it on your largest burner. Either way, you’ll have to move and rotate the pan to distribute the heat.
