Paella our way
Took the basic tastes from our Holiday then twisted it to suit us
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by gently warming up your pan - Gently add your olive oil & Butter, then the copped onion, chopped bell peppers and garlic and cook until onion is pearly. Add chopped tomato, bay leaf, paprika, saffron (If using) salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Keep and eye on your pan.
- 2
Add the rice and 1/2 of your parsley - and cook for one minute or so
- 3
Gently pour 1 pint of your stock to the pan and stir very gently, if your too harsh your parsley will break up and discolour the end result. Try to get your rice in one layer at this stage - as not much stirring will be needed after this. Gently bring the pan to a bubbling biol. (taking care of your hands against hot splatters) Then turn your heat right down to a simmer and cook for around 18 minutes.

Now add your protein and Peas- gently nesting the prawns, scollops and calamari around the rice. this is your serving bowl so be decorative. Serve when you are happy all protein is cooked. Dress with the remainder of parsley and sliced lemon.

TIPS:
1: If your rice has absorbed your stock and is not yet cooked, slowly keep adding some of the 1/2 pint of stock until you are happy.
2: try substituting some of the stock for white wine
3: I like to add a little bit of grated Chorizo to mine now and then
4: for that little extra you could always decorate with a few mussles.

Sangria —Our Way— Sangria —Our Way—
(δ) —Diary of my Yorky—So nervous! Tomorrow is the big day.Tomorrow, August 13th, I'm finally getting married. In the end, my mom chose this day because her grandparents got married on the same date, 67 years ago. Fortunately, I'm getting married in Coruña, not in Córdoba, because otherwise, my mom would be wearing the veil.Today we had the rehearsals, and unfortunately, the fittings (which I must admit I never like); the menu is practically ready, and all the guests have confirmed their attendance… So nervous!In the end, we opted for a simple ceremony, just family and close friends, not even the neighbors are coming —I must admit I never liked them. I just hope they keep being envious from the other side of the fence—. The mastiffs in the garden said they would only come to the banquet (As if they were doing me a favor! I didn't want to invite them, but my mom says it's very rude to exclude them; they are family).The main color is pink —which I love, it has always suited me— my fiancé will wear a matching bow tie, as will my uncle and my two bridesmaids (my sister and my best friend: a slightly chubby Westie). I have everything ready: something new, something old (from my MomLoba), something blue, and something borrowed. So nervous!Well, I'm going to sleep, I need to be rested for tomorrow.So nervous!

Chicken Mix Paella Chicken Mix Paella
Having served an LDS mission in Sevilla, Spain, I returned, got married, and wanted to impress my wife with some skills of the "mother" country. I found a recipe that I've tweaked and many have enjoyed. It's not traditional from Spain, but incorporates tastes suited to an audience in America. Which are not entirely seafood-savvy.

🔸Sometimes it's more convenient to use fresh or frozen seafood mix, or separate frozen ingredients—you choose. I liked this frozen mix from Agrifer Congelados. I recommend it.

Bratwurst & Cauliflower with Guinness and Mustard Sauce (LCHF) Bratwurst & Cauliflower with Guinness and Mustard Sauce (LCHF)
Adapted from a recipe by the very talented British chef, Mark Hix. I only had Guinness in the house to make the sauce (red wine in his version) so it's become the main in my three course St Patrick's Day dinner. This serves one, but just multiply it by number you are feeding.

Squid Paella Squid Paella
Squid is one of my favorite gifts from the sea, both to cook with and to enjoy eating. It pairs well with fish, shellfish, meat, and vegetables—pretty much everything except sweets! You can prepare it with sauces, stuff it, and more—it's truly wonderful. In this recipe, squid is the star, though once you taste the paella, the rice is just as good. I hope you enjoy it.

Paella - Valencia Style Paella - Valencia Style
Took a cooking class. This paella is easy to make. Not over powering. Found a paella pan at the local Winners store for $10. I would half this recipe for less people as this recipe can feed about 16 people. I have the full and 8 people recipe listed. Picture above is from class but I have made this a lot and if I can do this...so can you.
