Paella is a delicious and iconic Spanish dish that has become popular all over the world. It's a one-pan rice dish that typically includes seafood, meat, vegetables, and saffron. In this blog post, we will show you how to make a classic Spanish paella using some ingredients available in our store, including La fallera bomba rice, Navarrico fish fumet, Safrante saffron, and La Barraca sweet paprika.
Ingredients:
- 1kg La fallera bomba rice
- 2l Ferrer fish fumet
- 1g Safrante saffron
- La Barraca sweet paprika
- 1kg mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid, etc.)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed (Optional)
- 1 cup peas
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions:
-
Heat a large paella pan or a wide and shallow skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
-
Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and create a sauce.
-
Add the La Barraca sweet paprika and sauté for a minute or two until the paprika is fragrant and well mixed with the vegetables.
-
Add the La fallera bomba rice and stir to coat the rice with the vegetables and paprika.
-
Add the Navarrico fish fumet and the saffron to the pan. Stir to combine everything and bring to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
-
While the rice is cooking, clean and prepare the seafood. Season the seafood with salt and pepper.
-
When the rice is almost done (about 5-7 minutes before it's ready), add the seafood, green beans, and peas to the pan. Gently push the seafood into the rice so that it's submerged.
-
Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
-
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot.
