Paella 


  • What is it?:

It's a traditional Spanish food which has its origin in the region of Valencia. It consists of white rice, seafood (prawns, clams, mussels, cuttlefishes...) and seasoning such as saffron and rosemary, that is the original recipe, but there are others types of paella such as chicken paella served with vegetables (pepper, onion, asparagus...). In Spain people often eat this plate when they're celebrating a family party. In my opinion, Paella is my favorite Spanish dish, it is really tasty and zesty , because there are a lot of ingredients, so there are a lot of different flavors. My little trick to enhance his flavor is to add a pick of lemon and it will be delicious. 


  • Ingredients:

-250g prawns
-1 squid or one sepia
-1 kilo of mussels
-200 grans of clams
-1 red pepper
-1 green pepper
-2 tomatoes
-parsley
-5 black peppercorns
-2 or 3 garlic cloves
-salt
-Some saffron
-Round 2 cups of rice, pump
-5 glasses of water or seafood or fish broth
-Food coloring
-Extra virgin olive oil


  • These are the steps to get a good paella: 

1. Fist we have to peel the prawns and the mussels, then we start to cut peppers into regular pieces and also the cuttlefish. Then we wash calms with cold water. We have to save some unpeeled prawns and a few mussels in their shells. 
2. We take a special pan of paella and we put a great amount of olive oil, then we add the peppers, salt, the garlics, parsley and saffron threads. We mix all the ingredients and then we add grated tomatoes. Two minutes laters we add the cuttlefish and the clams and we continue to saute until clams get open . 
3. Then we add the rice, the mussels, the prawn. Then we pour hot water or broth, a little bit of food coloring and we mix. 
4. We distributed over the surface unpeeled prawns, a few mussels in their shells.When the broth starts to boil, we lower heat slightly and let cook about 20 minutes. When this time has elapsed cover with a cloth and let rest about 4 or 5 minutes.

ADVICE! --> Add a pick of lemon to get a better flavor.  

And we will have a delicious paella...
