Complete Spanish Paella Experience Kit

Paella.

Everything you need for paella, includes Recipes.

Paella. The name alone conjures up images of wide shallow pans, brimming with rice, seafood, meats and more. The hustle and bustle of narrow Spanish streets. The cacophony of city life.

Our favourite way to entertain friends and family is with delicious paella, full of fresh seafood, vegetables and smoky chorizo. This famous rice dish has been at the centre of celebrations in Spain for centuries, prepared by farmers in the field and famous chefs alike. Add your favourite seafood, vegetables or meats to make it your own. A fun, easy and delicious way to share the flavours of Spain with friends and family. Twenty classic recipes are included. What makes paella so special? A true paella pan is wide, round, and shallow and has splayed sides. It does not have a lid. It has two looped handles and dips slightly in the middle so the oil can pool there for the preliminary sautéing. The shape of the pan, which is called either a paella or paellera, helps ensure that the rice cooks in a thin layer. The Valencians say that the cooked rice should be only as thick as "un ditet", or the width of one finger. The key is to maximize the amount of rice touching the bottom of the pan because that is where the flavour is.

The paella pan can also be used as a serving dish! When your paella recipe is cooked, simply place the delicious pan of food in the middle of the table. Yum!
