Paella



We tried out this instant paella set. It came with a pack of seasoning, a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil, rice and the paella pan. I added the sausage, shrimp and baby cuttlefish. It was easy to cook and tasted not too bad. I would have preferred the rice a little drier but I was also afraid it would burn so took it off the heat too early.

In future, I may try using the paella pan for our usual all-in-one rice dishes but with our local ingredients or even Briyani rice (AAA's favourite).

  1. Where's the octopus, Chicken and peas, I love paella, unfortunately Vernon does not but I can get a frozen paella from a supermarket that is as near to the real thing as I can get in the UK.
    Many Spanish restaurants will not make it for one person and will only do it for two or more. It s made to order in Tenerife/ Majorca we searched out a restaurant so I could have some. I was really delighted in Grand Canaria the hotel had a dish every night on the buffet table, I made sure I had some every night.
    It should be fairly dry but not completely, in Spain they put chicken pieces and peas along with red pepers, onion, octopus, mussels and baby squid.
