Paella

How to Make the Perfect Paella!

Описание:

The chef at Palm Oasis (Gran Canaria) makes a delicious giant paella every Sunday, enough for 40 people, so I thought I´d show you how he does it.

This version is Paella Mixta (NOT the more traditional Valencian paella!), and ingredients include pork, chicken, fish, prawns, mussels, asparagus, peas & beans. None of these ingredients are essential. There are many different version of paella - just use the ingredients you like best (or the ones you have available)! You can just use seafood if you like, or don't use any if you don't like it. You can even use rabbit or chorizo if you like. A traditional Valencian paella would not use seafood but would use chicken, rabbit and even snails. To be honest, Valencians are very proud of their traditional paella, and are a bit sniffy about the more general versions of paella.

Wine is not essential and neither, arguably, is tomato. What I do know is that this version tastes amazing! Give it a try, it's really easy to cook as you'll see in the video. The main thing is NOT to stir once the rice has been added. If you need to add more stock, do so, but leave it unstirred as some of the flavour comes from the mixture caramelising slightly at the bottom of the pan. Don't have the heat up too high however, or you'll burn it.

We've had some questions about the colouring/seasoning used. In Spain many people use a ready-made paella seasoning. The worst (and cheapest) sort is 'Colorante' (colouring). This is full of e-numbers and there's often a warning on the jar NOT to give it to children.

'Paella seasoning' is a ready-made mixture usually including paprika, saffron, bay, oregano, & a little colouring. The reason colouring is used is that saffron is very expensive.

Deliah Smith (who is not Spanish but who knows a thing or two about cooking!) uses cayenne pepper, paprika (pimenton) and saffron.
Valencian chef Llorenç Millo uses saffron and smoked paprika as does Jamie Oliver.
If you want to make paella regularly I'd recommend making up your own paella seasoning. And if you don't want to use colouring and can't afford much saffron then you could add a little turmeric which will add plenty of colour without overwhelming the flavour.

Don't forget NOT to stir once the rice is added. And a big piece of lemon to be served with each portion is also very important.

If you try making paella using this video as a guide (as many people do) please let us know how you got on!
Thanks!!

May I ask why people care so dang much about the extremely, EXTREMELY fine details in the creation of this dish? Is it just a cultural thing?

Regarding your comment. "To be honest, a perfect paella would have saffron and turmeric", an actual perfect paella would have saffron and smoked paprika, (not turmeric).

Love this site!

Jordi Miquel пишет: Paella with onion? Have we gone mad. Never ever! Also to use "brillante" rice is like cheating. "Brillante" is a rice that does not overcook, not very natural if you ask me. The best rice to use would be "bomba" expensive but well worth it.

genuie john пишет: love all of it ,where i can try it , it like house special in my restaurant a lot ingrent a lot flavers yummy

Joseph Dionigi пишет: What is wrong with paella with onions if it happens to be one of the ingredients I like? You are also wrong about the rice! once again perfectly ok to use the rice you like, be it "Brillante", "Bomba" or even "Arborio".

blondichka1 пишет: OMG! there is everything possible and not... Chef is very good but i dont know how i will eat it on friday dinner))))

Luis Chavez пишет: followed this video and it was great! Well done video, much better than damn cooking shows



Gordon Hutchings пишет: May I suggest Hot Paella.com for pans and ingredients. Be sure and order some smoked paprika from Spain. The"paprika" from the grocery store is like colored sawdust compared to the real thing.
This video is "restaurant" style. Very straight ahead, no setting aside or separate simmering etc. Just dump, in order, and go. Excellent.
Good luck

patteri87 пишет: I love how the chef is making the paella in open space so that customers can see the making of it. Gran Canaria is just a amazing place to be, i must go to this restaurant myself the next time visiting there! Love paella <3

LJ A пишет: wow this is amazing. I love paella and have made it (not great) a few times - couldn't wait to taste it when I went to Spain and there I had the absolute worst preparation - completely tasteless. This however looks fantastic - will try this.


Eric Perkins пишет: To extract the yellow from saffron requires cooking the saffron in an acidic solution (read wine). The flavor mimics butter. Far simpler to employ annatto unless you're a purist with deep pockets.
