I like to use bomba rice in a classic paella recipe. Bomba rice is a shorter, wider grain and when it gently simmers in the saffron tomato broth, the bomba rice soaks up the liquid, making a plump and flavorful rice. You can find bomba rice at specialty stores, including Whole Foods and on Amazon.

A good substitute (and I have done this a number of times), is arborio rice, which you may find a bit easier than bomba. I usually use arborio rice in risotto (such as my wild mushroom risotto), as it's also a shorter, wider grain. You can probably find arborio rice a bit easier if you're in a pinch.

When it comes to cooking paella covered or uncovered, traditionally paella is cooked uncovered. However, stoves vary and if one side is cooking at a different rate, I often will cover the pan (with foil or something large enough), for a few minutes to help with even cooking.
