PAELLA MARISCOS
Paella de mariscos is a vibrant celebration of the Spanish coast, featuring saffron-infused Bomba rice and a bounty of seafood. When we talk to customers about paella, we often hear the incorrect assumption that the dish is difficult, laborious and finicky. None are true. Paella comes together in less than 30 minutes and is all about having the right tools, ingredients and a pre-prep plan. Mis en place rules the day when it comes to paella. Have all of your ingredients cut, measured and at the ready, then fire up the pan. Oh, and the pan? This is the best pan for the job - lightweight, easy to maneuver and heat sensitive. The hallmark of a perfect paella is the socarrat—the delicious, caramelized crust that forms on the pan's bottom. Be sure you have Spanish Sweet Paprika and Saffron on hand for those big pops of flavor in your next pan of paella. Give it a go! Trust us, it's doable. That's why we teach a Paella Class every month in our teaching kitchen.
