    Thank you Geoff!! Its fun to make! Arborio is a good sub or Carnaroli. However, I saw some Bomba rice on amazon haha and they have some good deals on paella pans! If you are using another type of rice, you will have to adjust for the amount of stock, Bomba uses a lot of water! There are also some other types of Paellas, Fideua is one made with pasta (same recipe as the paella) and another is Arroz Negro, made with squid ink. I hope this helps! Thank you again!!

    I just made Paella with your recipe! It’s really tasty and flavorful, totally worth the effort ❤ What I did differently: - Add crushed 7 saffron infused water - Use pestle and mortar to make the parsley sauce - A pinch of chicken bouillon as my stock is a little weak. - Scrub the calamari rings with salt and vinegar like washing clothes, rinsed repeat, for a few times. This will reduce the fishyness. - Fry calamari rings at high heat with your parsley sauce for 60 seconds (70% done) then set aside, then add it at the last stage while cover with lid. This way it’ll be very tender! - Sear shrimp on the same pan and set aside. - Roast red bell pepper strips to garnish at the top later. Because I was cooking on the stovetop I couldn’t get the timing/water level right, I didn’t get the soccrarat. Will try again next time, thank you!

    Little report about our Spanish dinner, which was made mainly with your recipes) 1) Paella For me - it was the best one I've made so far. You are the first, who told about an OVEN and this is a must in case you don't have Paella stove. By flavors - seemed balanced and tasty. And yes, I forgot about Safran as well, as was making by the video )) For my wife - she told that this Paella have a lack of "sea flavor", but still good. 2) Gambas al ajillo - those little bastards were simply great, especially the sauce from them. 3) Mushroom croquetas. Well... Was making something like that for a first time and tbh my croquetas were more like cutlets by a shape ) But still, one of the guests, told that it was top-1 from all appetizers. 4) Crema Catalana - o, this is my personal top-1. ) Tender, not too sweet (even though there is a clear sugar on top), I could say even freshy. Really good one! And good bonus - feeling of Christmas because of cinnamon ) In overall: Thank you a lot not only for good recipes, but also for your detailed approach. Making your recipes is easy, as you do describe each step together with very useful hints and tricks. Wish you luck and will definitely support your channel.

    Thank you and I'm glad that you liked it! Making your own fish stock for the paella should make it taste much better. You can use the croquetas recipe as a base for other types like chicken, jamón etc. the Gambas al ajillo are a winner, they always seem to go too fast! haha

    I came back from a trip to Spain this fall intent on learning to make paella and your videos have helped a lot. As for the pan, what I got instead of a round pan is a large rectangular griddle pan made from heavy carbon steel. It's 20"x13" inches, just deep enough for paella, and has the same area as an 18" circle. Unlike a big round pan I can put this one in the oven, and it covers two burners on the cooktop. Not traditional, but it seems to work, and I can make a paella big enough for 4 or more people.

    James - So, first, I will now get some Bomba rice. I've been hearing a lot about it lately. Those prawns you were using, I can get them almost always, raw from the waters off Ecuador, for about $7 a pound, which to me, is amazing. Head on shrimp are so much sweeter than any other. The heads and shells, I make stock from, quite similar to how you showed, other than I usually roast the veg in the oven, oil in pan, 400F, for about a half hour or so, with a few stirs, and then, the shells and whatever fish bones I might have, added at the end for a bit of a roast, before I make my fish stock. Excuse me, Fume, but yeah, that's the idea. Interesting thing about shrimp. One restaurant I worked for, I was basically allowed to eat whatever I want to, whenever I wanted to (it kept theft down). Of course, if a fish or so was two days old, I was smart enough to attack that for lunch, rather than what just came in fresh that morning. No one ever had to tell me that, it was just obviously the right thing to do. We had a rule, about all seafood, 2 days and out, as compared to other meats, which were 3 days and out. The 'out' part being, as a prep cook, I could basically do whatever I wanted to with what was about to expire. So, I would do various things, and then ring the bell (between services), for the cooks, waitstaff, owners and everyone else who was there at the moment, to have a taste of what I had made, of what was about to be thrown out. As such, regarding shrimp, I had access to all sizes of them from jumbo (just guessing, but probably 6-8 a pound, to the tiny stuff, I suppose about 60 or so, per pound, and as well, as much lobster as I could stuff up my ass. Sorry about that, but, yeah, Lobster as well. So, given completely free access to all of it, my preference was, and still is, those shrimp between 20 and 40 per pound, even over lobster. Free, or paid for, other than for anything 'head on', that is my choice. This restaurant had a habit of not actually ever 'shutting down', even when 'closed'. By that, I mean, if you were a cop, or a fireman, or a Hospital worker, or anyone who had something to do with 'public service', particularly in any sort of public mayhem, we were never 'closed'. I was often enough called on, at 3am or so, to take over for 'so-and-so', as there was, what ever mayhem, that might have been going on, at the moment. Point being (and I experienced it all), but around midnight (or whenever the place 'closed out'), the standard maintenance was already under way, from deep cleaning the kitchen, and all the rest, to cleaning the 'grease traps', to cleaning the 'tap lines' (of beer and soda). As well, as I knew, every inch of it, including the ice machine, was stripped down and sterilized, at least, often enough, meaning, several times a week. What that meant to me was, in whatever role, that if I fell down on the job, to provide such as that, I'd have some 'splaining', to do, as it wouldn't have been looked on kindly. Of course, that never happened, but such was the burden of this kitchen, to be truthful and honest, always, no matter what else. It was a great place to work. Perhaps odd to say, but to this day, I have an open invitation to work there, however I might want to. To be honest, that is high praise. My Chef was Malaysian, about my age, and he was raised in the galleys of US Navy boats, mostly in the 'North Sea', offshore of both England and France. By that, at the start that we had a lot in common, to begin with, that is not my premise. Lick what wounds you have, and as best I can, I will help.

    Paella is one of my favourite dishes, and I've been trying to perfect my technique for many years. This is hands down the best recipe I've came across! I never knew about making ajo perejil and marca separately, and they make a huge difference! I guess the recipes that I can find (and in English) are always dumbed down versions for home cooks. Thanks for sharing the real professional technique!

    Made this yesterday, was so tasty.. I used an Asian rice called keeri samba, cos i couldn't find bomba, its parboiled so doest clump together .. I really don't like calamari that's cooked too much, so I lightly sautéed it so it released some flavour into the sauce and then fished it out while still half raw.. Oh I did the same with some peeled raw prawns and some crab as well cos I didnt have clams.. then at the 6 min mark in the oven I sort of gently stirred the prawns and calamari just under the surface of the rice and placed the prawns with shell and crab on top and let it finish in the oven.. Everything was perfectly cooked at the end! Thank you very much..
