On Friday I learned how to make Paella at Alan's. His dutch roommate is a wonderful cook, and we all went shopping together and then he taught us how to make it! It took a couple hours and had a lot of ingredients, but I think I could do it on my own....we'll see, I want to try soon. Here's what I remember it included, all in a big paella pan:
-onions
-tomatoes
-red and green peppers
-caldo de pescado (fish broth?)
-paella seasoning (paprika? more?)
-squid rings
-shrimp with their heads and eyes and bodies all intact (eww)
-calamari
-chicken
-rice!
-olive oil
-white wine
That's what I remember! It turned out delicious.
How did you cook it??
ReplyDeleteDid your's have saffron in it? The one time i've had paella, saffron was the only spice I could taste.
we threw everything into a big paella pan, which is just a huge thin pan on the stove. and yeah, it had saffron in the paella seasonings mix! so good!
