Mamacita made paella last night and it was truly fantastic. It was very authentic, real spanish short grained rice, chorizo, jamon, shrimp, scallops, chicken, smoked Spanish paprika, saffron. There is a certain kind of pepper that true Valencian paella would have that we didn’t find in time, but I’m thinking that just gives us an excuse to have it again pretty soon, right? Right?
Paella de Valencia
So here it is, probably enough paella for 12 people. My new favorite food has displaced Maryland crab-cakes from the top of the list.
Just make sure you invite the Moses family over the next time she makes it. :)
That does look good. That’s a double! Dark Chocolate cake and Paella de Valencia. Michelle, are you taking notes? ;-P
@Michelle – we were thinking this would be a nice dish to have when inviting a group over — everyone could bring an ingredient or two…
hee hee — Michelle, I told Mike you’d be the first to comment on this!
E & M — We’d be happy to have you guys over sometime to share this dish — definitely party food!
