Paella

A journey through the scents and colors of Spain: Valencian paella is a convivial, rustic, and hearty dish, where rice, meat, and vegetables meet in the heat of a large pan. Authentic and traditional, this version celebrates the connection between the land and the simplicity of Mediterranean ingredients.

Ingredients for 4 people:

• Baldo Rice : 320 g (2 measuring caps)

• Chicken: 200 g

• Rabbit: 200 g

• Green beans: 100 g

• Tomatoes: 2

• Pepper: 1

• Peas: 100 g

• Saffron: 1 sachet

• Chicken broth: 1 liter

• Extra virgin olive oil: 4-5 tablespoons

• Salt: to taste

Procedure:

1. Cut the chicken and rabbit into pieces.

2. In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and fry the pieces of meat until golden on all sides.

3. Add the green beans, chopped tomatoes, pepper strips, and peas. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4. Pour the rice into the pan and stir to coat it with the seasoning.

5. Add the hot broth and saffron, mix gently and season with salt.

6. Cook over medium-high heat without stirring too much, so that the characteristic crust forms on the bottom.

7. Once the broth is absorbed and the rice is cooked, let the paella rest for 5 minutes with the heat off before serving.

The authentic taste of the party

Valencian paella is much more than a dish: it's tradition, it's sharing, it's color. Serve it straight from the pan, with a squeeze of lemon and some cheerful conversation. Ideal for a Sunday family dinner or an al fresco dinner with friends.
