    Paella recipe, Valencian style, Basque interpretation ;)

    I've prepared this paella in the bbq using firewood, the process is the same in any other cooking/heating method.

    Heat the oil, virgin olive if possible, and add salt to the hot oil, in this way you do not have to correct salt afterwards, and brown the rabbit for about 5 minutes.

    When the rabbit is golden, add the vegetables; green pepper, red pepper and pods, fry for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

    When the vegetables are half fried, add hot water, until all the ingredients are covered, cook over high heat for about 10 or 15 minutes

    Then add the rice, forming a cross, protruding a little over the broth

    Cook over high heat for about 10 or 15 minutes, making sure that the water does not evaporate completely and the rice does not burn, the secret is to play with the right amount of fat, oil in this case, water and intensity of the fire.

    Once we remove the paella from the fire, we let it rest for about 5 minutes, covering it with a cloth or newspaper, if the rice is missing to reach its point, during the rest it will finish cooking.

    On egin!

    • That's amazing. I envy your setup and your patience to document the process. I end up spending hours on a dish and then take a sloppy photo before jumping in.garbage
    • I made birria yesterday and barely have a photo. I'm going to try to try your method, but with different protein. I do have a chicken and a hen in the fridge...garbage
