Ordinary people’s extraordinary Spanish paella

Overview

Spanish paella (Paella, transliterated as Bahia) is one of the three famous Western dishes, as famous as French snails and pasta. Spanish paella originates from Valencia, the fish and rice capital of Spain. It is a rice food made from Spanish rice. It is actually a large round amphorae with a flat bottom and a shallow mouth, usually no more than five centimeters deep. Spanish paella looks great. The yellow rice grains are made from the precious spice saffron. The rice is dotted with countless shrimps, crabs, black clams, clams, oysters, squid...it's steaming hot and mouth-watering. I love Spanish paella because it’s luxurious in its restraint! Let’s get started! Tasty fried chicken sticks! You can put seafood on your own, you can put whatever seafood you like! The soul of this dish is saffron, it must be included to make it called paella!

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Process all the seafood and ingredients and set aside. I have these seafood at home, so it doesn’t matter if I just put them in! Remove the bones from the chicken thighs, wash and cut into 2cm cubes, peel the tomatoes and cut into small cubes, dice the onions and green and red peppers, and slice the sausages and set aside. Then cook the clams. Put the clams in water and spit them out for about 20 minutes in advance. Prepare a pot with a lid. After heating, quickly pour in the clams, then pour 100 ml of wine, cover the lid, and wait until the clams open. Remove the shrimp threads from the prawns and set aside. Cut the squid tubes into 1 cm rings of mussels. Wash them clean and prepare them for later use. Remove the sandbags from the scallops, clean them and set aside

  4. Add broth or water. The amount of water in the rice purchased at each store is different, so there will be some floating. Just cover the rice! Don't use too much or it won't turn into rice. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer
