Cooking Instructions
- 1
In the paella pan, level the oil, and when it's hot, add a little salt to prevent the meat from splattering. Add the meat, season it, and when it's slightly browned, add the liver, season again, and continue sautéing until the meat is well browned.
- 2
Add the vegetables, season, and sauté. Add the grated tomato and sauté. Toast the saffron on one side of the pan and stir. Add the sweet paprika and stir immediately to prevent burning, then pour in water until it covers the rivets of the handles.
- 3
Let it cook for 25 minutes (when it starts to boil, add food coloring to taste and place 2 sprigs of rosemary in the paella, which will be removed just before adding the rice). After 25 minutes, the broth should be just below the rivets of the handles; adjust the salt.

Adjust the salt if necessary and add the rice evenly across the paella. Once well distributed, let it cook for 18 minutes (do not stir during cooking, as the rice will release starch and turn into a risotto instead of a paella).

After 18 minutes, turn off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. It's delicious, you'll love it.

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. Katatonickat -
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 -

Mixed Paella Mixed Paella
A senior co-worker of mine made me this dish years ago, and I was impressed that you can make it at home. She gave me the recipe and it has changed as I've made it over and over. I stopped using the paella pan because it was shallow, difficult to mix in, and made my stove dirty. You can make a good paella just by using a frying pan or a shallow pot. I've been using my beloved "Le Creuset" pan.It looks very nice if you use blue mussels, but I couldn't acquire any this time so I used hamaguri clams instead. You can also use asari clams. I'd like readers to add some kind of clam because it gives off a delicious soup. It's not exciting unless the rice is yellow. If the saffron doesn't give it enough color, add turmeric or a little bit of yellow food coloring. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki cookpad.japan
