Paella (/ p aɪ ˈ ɛ l ə / py-EL-ə, Valencian: , Spanish: ) is a Spanish rice dish originally from Valencia. Paella is one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine. For this reason, many non-Spaniards view it as Spain's national dish, but Spaniards almost unanimously consider it to be a dish from the Valencian region. Valencians, in turn, regard paella as one of their identifying symbols.
Instructions to make Paella:
- Soak the saffron in 3 tablespoons of hot water. Then heat the wine in a pan and add the mussels. Cover with a lid and cook until open.
- Heat half the oil in a paella pan or large frying pan. Season the chicken with salt and paprika, and fry until starting to brown. Add the king prawns and fry until pink.
- Remove from the pan then add the onions and garlic and fry until the onions soften and brown. Then add the red pepper, tomatoes and parsley and cook for 3 mins.
- Stir in the stock, saffron liquid and the liquid the mussels were cooked in. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Stir in the rice, chicken, prawns, squid, chorizo, beans and peas.
- If using an oven, preheat to 180°C, then add the paella. Cook for 15 minutes. If using the hob, cook over a medium hear for about 10 mins, stirring occadionally. Add the olives and mussels and cook for another 10 minutes. When done, serve straight from the pan and enjoy!
Paella is made with saffron and not the other types od herbs listed, and it is traditionally made with whole chicken parts and seafood (most still in shells). Add chorizo and cook until crisp, then remove from skillet. Paella is essentially a rice dish, and the type of rice does make a difference. Spanish bomba rice, a medium-grained stubby rice that absorbs liquid well but maintains some firmness when it cooks, is preferred. Since it is hard to find and pricey, you can substitute Italian Carnaroli, Calrose, or another short-grain rice.
