Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add oil to the paella pan and brown all the meat until it's cooked through. (The trick is to extract all the juice from the meat to make a good broth), always on low heat. Add salt.
- 2
Next, add the vegetables and then the tomato. If necessary, add more salt (grated tomato is better) until the tomato thickens.
- 3
Now add a tablespoon of sweet paprika and stir for 10 seconds (if left longer, it becomes bitter). Add water until it covers the screws, then add a bit of ground rosemary (I ground some and placed the rest on top with the branch when the paella is almost done) and the food coloring. Cook on high heat.
- 4
When the water level drops below the screws, taste for salt and adjust to taste. Add the rice in a cross shape (the amount is until the rice appears in the broth across the cross, then spread it well throughout the paella with a spatula in circles).
- 5
Let the rice boil on high heat for 1 minute, then reduce to low heat for 15 minutes. During this process, ensure the rice cooks and the broth is absorbed. Adjust the heat as needed to achieve this. The total cooking time for the rice is 17 minutes. Let it rest with the heat off for 10 minutes, then serve.

Spanish Paella Spanish Paella
A paella pan is ideal when making this Spanish Valencia dish; consisting of chicken, sausage and available seafood ingredients. [In lieu of a paella pan, a very large pan can be used]This dish can be prepared outdoors (gas grill) or indoors using a large burner on the stove. Near the end of the cooking process you will need a lid to cover the pan - I use a metal pizza pan.*The ideal paella has a toasted rice bottom, called socarrat. The key ingredient is the saffron threads and other types of seafood can be substituted! Rick M -
Paella Paella
This food is very delicious!!! 👍 I have tried this food for the first time in Spain, because it is one of the famous Spanish dishes, and I think that it is a must for me to try to make it at home, but this is not an authentic Paella recipe, because:1. I didn't cook it in a Paella Pan, but in a non stick skillet, because I don't have Paella Pan.2. I didn't use safron and artichoke, because it's so rare and pricey here.So, This is just my version of it... 😊 Tra Cul -
