    My thread about Authentic Paella

    Everything is on my website :) For bomba rice, 2,5 parts of stock per 2 parts of rice. For "normal" "paella rice", 1/1 Usually 100gr of rice per person (but I eat a lot and I can eat almost double)

    My thread about Authentic Paella

    The thing is I don't recommend cover the paella (pan) just after the rice absorbs the stock, but somewhere in the middle of the last step (lower heat). Unfortunately, there is no rule that fits all the rice types, timings, water type, rice/broth ratio... it's a matter of experience. I like to...

    My thread about Authentic Paella

    Find here a seafood paella recipe: https://paellarecipes.top/seafood-paella-recipe/ You are totally right, this is not the process for proper seafood paella. You can follow the instructions on the link for an easy-but-adequate method. However, if you want to bring your paella to another...

    My thread about Authentic Paella

    Coal! That's very rare for paellas in Spain, I never saw it in person but I'm sure the result was good. At least, it seems properly done. Regarding the tender broad beans, it is a pity they added them on the top once the rice was almost done. I would have put in the beans during the sauté...

    What would you guys do with this?

    I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms but I'd like to try them just roasted with olive oil, salt and a bit of black pepper. I bet they would be gorgeous :)

    Adjusting paella cooking times for larger serving?

    Hi, sorry for bringing an old post up. I was just curious about paella cooking over here and I think I can help a bit. Just a couple of comments about what I read: To make "el socarrat" just turn max heating for about 1min when there are about 5 min left to the liquid is gone. Unfortunately...

    What do you all do with Poblano Peppers?

    This type seems similar to what we call in Spain Pimientos de Padrón, unos pican y otros no (peppers from Padrón, some burn, and others don´t). So you never know if they are spicy or not. For me, the best way is roasted with salt rocks and maybe a bit of evoo

    Carbonara, sort of...

    I love carbonara and I usually make my lighter version (I hope no one is offended :) ): The method is similar but I make a couple of changes in the ingredient list: I add smoked turkey or chicken ham cubes instead of bacon. 1 egg + 2 yolks beaten I put in half a small onion, finely chopped...

    Hi from Spain

    Thanks for the warm welcome :) My home town is 1h away from Torremolinos. In Spain, Spanish omelet is called "Tortilla de patatas" (potato omelet) and it can also have onion (a sacrilege for purists, like chorizo for paella). Although it seems an easy recipe, Tortilla de patatas is not easy...

    Hi from Spain

    Thanks pepperhead. I hope you had a nice time in Madrid, I´m not sure how welcoming was Madrid in the 60s. Actually I'm from Alicante (Eastern Spain), but I live in Madrid.

    Hi from Spain

    Hi there, I got in some weeks ago and I've been reading but I didn't introduce myself (my bad). So, I'm a Spanish food lover and an amateur cook. For me, food is one of the top 5 life pleasures and a proper way to know other countries, another hobby. I'm really into all kind of foods but I...

    Sueca, Valencia: Traditional Mountain Paella

    Very nice paella recipe The recipe seems very nice but the type of rice: Arborio? Besides, an easier way to get the "socarrat" in the paella is the opposite that in this paella recipe is indicated, max power but less time. Edit: sorry, 2012
