TIPS
The vegetables in the paella
Broad beans and lima beans are the basis of the paella as far as vegetables is concerned, It's better fresh, but there is also the possibility of frozen or dried as in the case of the lima bean
The secret of the artichoke
Artichoke is a season's vegetable. We can add if we find. A trick! Salt water and a piece of lemon to avoid to turn black.
STEP BY STEP
1.- Add the oil
Add some oil that serves to level the pan. The oil should be centered, it also adds some salt and light the fire!
2.- Add the meat
When the oil is hot, add the chicken, start to fry, stir with a large spoon until getting done in a uniform way.
3.- Add the vegetables
When the meat is get brown, add the vegetables, scratched or crushed tomato and some paprika to fry with the meat for a few minutes, we do like that because meat need more time to fry vegetables
4.- Add water
After that, add the water. There are many technical recommendations on the amounts of water and rice, see the keys to understand the process but for now .. water above the handles' screws.
5.- Add the rice
As a reference serve the handles' screws the paella, "caballón"'s technique is the most widespread on paella's masters. It consists of dividing in two parts the paella pan with the rice, then with a spoon spread uniformely.
6.- Cooking times
Time is very important, cook rice between 18-20 minutes, if we use more time the grain rice will open and give you a pasta's feeling, and less time will make the grain is undercooked and too much hard .
7.- Rice cooking
Fire is essential in this process, the aim is that at 20 minutes the rice is cooked and the paella without broth, more fire less water and vice versa,
8.- READY TO EAT
Leave to rest for about 5 minutes and our paella valenciana is ready, now all that remains is to enjoy.
