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.
Steps to make Paella:
- Cut the vegetables in bite size chunks. Trim the harder parts from the artichokes if using
- Fry the vegetables in plenty of olive oil (start with the meat if using)
- Add the chopped garlic and paprika, then the chopped tomatoes and fry until the tomatoes darken and form a paste
- Add saffron, water and salt, and reduce to about half on high heat. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary
- Add the rice, give it a good stir, then make sure to distribute the rice evenly in the bottom of the pan (you will not stir it again), then cook on high heat for 10 minutes
- Add the white beans (do not stir the rice), lower the heat to medium-high and cook for another 5 minutes, then lower the heat again and cook for another 5 minutes
- The paella is ready once more of the moisture had been absorbed, the rice is "al dente", and a crust of rice starts to form in the bottom of the pan
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.
