Some like to go clubbing, some like to go out to dinner, and others (like me) like to take on the challenge of feeding and hosting twenty people for their 25th birthday.
Now feeding and hosting twenty people wouldn’t have been a challenge if I had decided to cook up my traditional risotto recipe, but no, I set out to make paella, a notoriously finicky dish that I had never made before. Most of my friends thought I was joking when I mentioned what I might be serving at my dinner, but with help from a number of sous chefs I was able to pull off a stunning and pretty authentic dish and feed a crowd of friends.
This is not to say that I went into this endeavor completely unprepared. I’ve grown up under the wing of Juan Carlos Herguera, oceanographer and paella champion, whose paella I’ve had the opportunity to taste and from whom I’ve gathered a few tidbits of advice. Although I’ve never made paella myself, I was guided step by step through the process a couple of years ago by a lovely chef in Tecate, Mexico.

What I’ve learned is paella is pretty versatile and you should come out with a pretty impressive dish if you follow these simple guidelines:
For my paella I set a grill over hot coals in my outdoor fire pit and placed my paella pan over that. A good paella requires evenly distributed heat, something that’s easiest to get on a 22″ pan by placing it over a fire pit. If you do decide to cook over a stove, I’d suggest continuously rotating it over four burners to distribute heat evenly.
Paella is about the rice. That crispy flavorful rice at the bottom is what paella is all about. Adding too much rice is the most common mistake. Rice should be distributed evenly around your pan with a depth of an inch or the pad of your thumb.

Remember the first time I ever experienced paella. Circa 2010, I had just landed in Spain with my boyfriend (now husband) for my first ever European holiday. It was also lunchtime. So, bags in low, we stopped to get paella. A dish completely unknown to me, it was all my husband could talk about for the weeks leading up to our trip. When I asked what it was he would say, “

Paella (pai · ei · uh) is a classic rice dish originally from the Valencian region of Eastern Spain. A major cultivator of rice since it was introduced to Spain by the Moors in the 10th century, Valencia was one of the largest trading ports in the Mediterranean.
It is believed that the original paella, paella Valenciana, consisted of short-grain rice plus whatever was on hand or leftover. This often included water vole (a type of water rodent), eel, and butter beans. Originally, paella would have been enjoyed by farmers and laborers as a lunchtime meal.
As living standards started to improve throughout Spain in the late 19th century, paella ingredients started to change with it. The most widely used ingredients at that time included – short-grain rice, chicken, snails, duck, rabbit, green beans, tomatoes, great northern beans, runner beans, artichoke (a substitute for beans in the winter), fresh rosemary, paprika, saffron, garlic, olive oil, and water.

What makes a paella pan unique? It is a wide, shallow, and round pan with splayed sides. It has two looped handles and does not have a lid. The shape helps ensure that the rice cooks in a thin layer, which, according to several Valencians, should be no more than the width of about one finger (or 1/2 an inch). In order to create the highly sought-after
A crispy, golden crust on the bottom of the pan – it’s key to maximize the amount of rice touching the bottom of the pan. For this reason, paella pans grow in diameter, not in height.

Some people have success with arborio rice (the rice used to make risotto) or long-grain white rice, but I don’t recommend either of those. Calrose rice, widely available at most grocery stores, is the best substitute. Should you use this rice, decrease the total cooking liquid to 4 cups.
It is hotly debated whether sausage should be added to paella. Many people have very strong feelings that it should not, under any circumstance, be added to any paella recipe. Others, on the other hand, argue otherwise. I recall enjoying a very large pan of paella filled with Spanish chorizo and seafood while in Spain, so I say do what you want.

, dried and used as a seasoning and natural food coloring. Most of the world’s saffron is grown in Iran, Greece, Morocco, and India. Saffron is widely available from many major grocery stores and also sold online (take care to buy from a reputable source).
This recipe makes approximately 4-6 main course servings. While I cooked this recipe in a 15-inch paella pan, I recommend using an 18-inch pan for best results.
Spanish chorizo is made from chopped pork and pork fat and seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and salt. Generally available as either Picante (spicy) or dulce (sweet), depending upon the type of paprika used. If you can’t find any Spanish chorizo, try using a different smoked sausage, like Andouille sausage, as it is already cooked.
