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 -
