Authentic Spanish Paella, This is one of my all time favorite dishes I’ve been experimenting for a year now and I think I’ve finally got it perfect This recipe is for an 18 pallera cooked on an open flame (a weber grill works perfectly) For a smaller pan and stovetop cooking half the recipe Note: Some purists say an ‘authentic’ paella doesn’t mix meat and seafood I see it as a matter of taste, and most of the paella I’ve had from various regions throughout Spain has been mixed I leave the arguments to the old men in Valencia , Now you can make bacon in no time! It’s easy, not messy at all and everyone loves it! Also there is no exact amount It has a great smokey taste coin master hack, Hi! I am very excited to make this recipe I was hoping I could borrow your expertise to figure out the best way to cook it (1) I don’t have a paella pan and not ready to invest in one *yet* I was planning on cooking in a 12 all clad saute pan (I read that non-stick and cast iron are not recommended) I see the recipe note says to half the recipe if cooking on a stove top and using a smaller pan Would you recommend that I half the recipe even given the fact that the saute pan rim is higher? (2) Even with the all clad, would you recommend that I cook over my weber grill vs on the stove top? Or is the weber grill recommendation only if using a paella pan? THANK YOU! CAN’T WAIT TO TRY IT!

It's Best to Have All of Your Ingredients Prepared Before You Start Cooking. |

Prepare the Rabbit by Separating the Legs, Cutting Remaining Meat Into Small Slices and Lightly Salting. (in My Area Rabbit Is Seasonal. During the Summer and Fall I Substitute With Chicken Legs). |

I Peel My Shrimp, Leaving Only the Tail and Then Salt Them. in Spain They Tend to Leave the Shrimp Unshelled. |

I Always Try to Make My Chicken Stock from Scratch (time Permitting), Adding a Bit of Rosemary, a Tiny Pinch of Saffron and a Bit of Thyme. If You're Going to Use Bouillon, I'd Recommend at Least Heating It Up With These Herbs and Then Straining Before You Start. |

Coat the Bottom of Your Pallera/Pan With Olive Oil. |

Brown Your Chorizo Over High Heat For 1-2 Minutes. Do not Fully Cook, Just Get the Outside Well Browned. Set Aside. This Should Add a Nice Red Color and a Hell of a Flavor to Your Oil. |

Add Rice, Mixing Together and Stirring as the Rice Browns (1-1 1/2) Minutes. as the Rice Browns Mix in the Saffron. Make Sure to Break It Between Your Fingers and Stir It in to Release All Those Tasty Oils. |

When the Rice Is Slightly Translucent Add Enough Chicken Stock to Cover the Whole Mixture. If It's Been Kept Warm, It Will Begin to Boil Almost Immediately. Lower to a Medium Heat but Keep It at a Steady Boil. |

This Is Where Paella Is Made and Broken. I Stir a Few Times in the First 5-10 Minutes, Adding Broth as Necessary to Keep the Rice Fully Covered. After This You Must Let the Paella Sit! Let It Cook Another 10-20 Minutes (i Find That This Step Takes Longer on a Stovetop), Adding Broth Bit by Bit to Keep the Rice Submerged Until the Rice on the Top Is Al Dente. Don't Worry About Rice Burning to the Bottom, This Part (which Actually Has a Name Which Escapes Me at the Moment, It's Something Like Socarrat) Is a Tasty Delicacy. |

Once You've Stirred the Paella For the Last Time and Are Letting Cook, When You Have About 8 Minutes Left to Cook Lay Shrimp on Top, Turning Over After 2-4 Minutes to Cook Other Side. |
