Paellas needs to be cooked with a good amount of oil, which carries all the flavours of the Sofrito and keep the starchy rice grains separate. . A good quality olive oil, which has a higher smoke point than than the extra-virgin variety, is a great call for your paella!
All the beautiful and complexes flavours of the paella come mainly from two elements: 1. The Sofrito: the heart of the paella, an aromatic mixture of onion, garlic and tomato, sauteΜed in olive oil until reduced into a thick dark red paste. 2. The Stock and spices: use (or do it from scratch) a good quality stock!The flavours vary according to the type of paella your cooking. It can be fish, chicken, veggie. A nice spice mix also brings your paella to the next level. Salt, pepper, the traditional saffron and paprika are great options.
Now to make sure the rice is cooked right, your pan needs to fit over the heat source, so the rice has maximum contact with the bottom of the pan. . Traditionally, paella is cooked over an open fire, but can also be done using gas burners (just like the ones we use at the markets), the stove and even the oven, to finish off the cooking. . No matter which one you use, the secret is to make sure the heat is evenly distributed along the cooking process π
