Looking for a Paella recipe

OLS · 12-13-2010, 12:52 PM

I deleted my Jambalaya "recipe" because it is clear after reading through the Paella recipe that
it was irresponsible to say it is easy. Rice skill is no easy thing to acquire, and I take for granted
a lot of times how much experience you need to talk about it like I do. As if it were so easy. I also
noticed in the recipe that it indicates what I have always done, but many, like my own mother do not.
I use the boiling of the ingredients to par-cook the rice and steam out most of the water, all the while
stirring madly. My mom lets it boil, cuts the heat and covers for 40 mins. Same effect in the end,
but the stir method incorporates the flavor better and makes the meal get done faster, and to me, better.

I had some phenominal Paella while in Spain...it may just be my favorite dish. The key is good olive oil and saffron....they way I had it was a giant frying pan (I guess a paella pan) over an open fire..ingredients were huge shrimp, sausage, chicken, rice, lite onion...and other goo which I cannot remember..it was awesome.
