      Yea Paella Valenciana isn’t very popular around the world, paella de marisco is more commonly found outside of Spain and is typically the paella you see on any menu. I’m Canadian and I myself have never even seen Paella without seafood in it (and I’ve eaten it during my travels to many countries in Europe, my favourite paella was in Barcelona actually)
      I personally prefer seafood because I love shrimp and mussels but this recipe looks so amazing I might just have to try it!!

    I have eaten lousy paella in the us so many times that I don’t even care to order it anymore at restaurants.. I ate paella all over Valencia. It’s much different from the rest of Spain. I much prefer that rustic flavor that you get in Valencia. As a cook that likes to get to the roots of things, I have a beef with a lot of the American chefs that don’t develop the palate for the food that they are trying to emulate. They become instant “experts” and almost always f*# up the dish. I tip my hat to you for taking the time to sample the real thing and learn from the masters. After coking that dish for many years you earn the right to introduce your personal touches.

    The reason this video has no paella nazis is because the video is quite accurate! Finally!
    One difference tho (but this is really not that big of a deal), in restaurants they put the rice first and then the stock for speed purposes. At home you would usually pour enough stock (or water) to cover the rivets from the handles on the inside of the pan. Once the liquid has reduced to completely expose the rivets, then you would put the rice in.
    Cheers!

    That is the very authentic Paella Valenciana. The seafood paella was created in Barcelona, it was a tourist scheme (trap), that somehow it made it to all the American continent and everybody started calling paella valenciana. The reason why it doesn't have seafood it is bc it was created inland from the mediterranean = no fish or seafood or refrigeration to transport it to the rural areas in the XV c. What was abundant for the peasants was chicken, rabbit and legumes, tomatoes, saffron and rice from the orchards and nearby fields. Btw, the name paella comes from the pan you cook it in. That's a paella or paellera not the food you cook in it. Even though they were eating in the XV century, the first recipe was written in the XVIII century by Josep Orri.

I didn’t even know paella Valenciana existed until today and I’m sure not many people outside of Spain are even aware there’s a different kind of paella, let alone that this is the original!
      I guess paella de marisco is the one that just got more popular around the world

    • @SirBrian544
      @SirBrian544 3 роки тому

      If I have to choose between the "trap" with marisco, against the meat, I choose the marisco. The people in Barcelona didnt invented the paella with seafood to offer it to the tourists for what you so call "trap". Is how we eat the rice there. With seafood. People comes to Barcelona to eat what is in Barcelona, if they want to eat in Valencia they will go to Valencia. SO if they it in Barcelona, they will eat what we eat, rice with seafood. And I never seen any restaurant calling it Paella Valenciana, but seafood paella. So dunno what you're taling about.

      The seafood paella, known as arroz a banda, negro o senyoret is typical from Alicante since 19xx, not Barcelona. There many restaurants there with michelin awards doing this type of rice. The reason seafood paella is most popular is easy, Valencia is not touristic while Alicante or Barcelona are, where paella Valenciana is not popular. Seafood paella is not paella. Paella Valenciana and on the other side, arroces alicantinos. What you know as seafood paella is an alicantinian rice.

As is common in dishes of the Indian subcontinent, vegetables are also used when preparing biryani, which is known as vegetable biriyani. Corn may be used depending on the season and availability. Navratan biryani tends to use sweeter, richer ingredients such as cashews, kismis and fruits, such as apples and pineapples.

      You gotta understand how paella was born at those rice paddies you have in the background. Rabbit and chicken were cheap, and easy to hunt in there. However, nowadays, all over Spain we have different stuff to put on rice, such as seafood. I was born in Huelva for example, and seafood is the best option for us. But as they say, the one you show on the video, is the only original one. Thanks for sharing real Spanish gastronomy to the US!!!

    • @chardros
      @chardros 6 років тому +4

      Bob, that's not really true. The paella valenciana is like the one in the video, and maybe it's the original dish, I've been living there for about ten years and I love it, but there are lots of types of paellas in Spain even when valencians don't call them paellas. In Alicante we distinguish our rice dishes by the way they are cooked between "paella" (classic flat pan, which name is paella) and "caldero" (cauldron), and you can't say a seafood paella is not a paella if it's cooked in a paella. The paella valenciana is made with food from the countryside because it's what farmers got, and the paellas in Alicante use seafood because it's what fishermen got. It's like Gonzalo says.
      It's like the "pastel de carne murciano" (murcian meat pie). In Murcia its name is only "pastel de carne" but that doesn't mean that the other types you eat out of Murcia aren't meat pies if they are a pie with meat inside. Valencians have to open their minds a bit.
      That doesn't mean that what restaurants cook for tourists aren't usually really low quality rice dishes for our standards and the impression they get for a paella is very far from what we call a good paella.
      Christine, if you wanted a seafood paella maybe should have gone a bit more to the south of Spain and looked for a place were they attend mostly locals to find a good traditional fishermans style seafood paella, but finding one is not really an easy task. Most restaurants around here are very tourist oriented and you can have very disapointing experiences.
      I'm nevertheless happy to see that you know now that paellas are not only the paella mixta (mix of meat and seafood that maybe it's really some invention for tourists, because I don't know anybody who cook it that way at home, and was that what Bob meaned).

    There are many versions of paella. The trick is to use saffron and bomba or paella rice. I use aborio when I don’t have. The valenciana consists of rabbit chicken flat beans and artichokes sometimes boar beans to with saffron paprika and stock but you can make many varieties

Flat green beans, cut into quarters.- they tend to over cook these, in my opinion but that's how they do it. Rabbit and chicken pieces. The "Garafon " are a special amazing bean that grows there locally. I have never seen before. It was fresh so very creamy and tender. I might try a Romano bean but if dry, then soak and pre cook before adding - Or just omit . The rice is key . It must be a paella rice from Spain. La Bomba is the most available - short grain - Italian will not work. Then saffron and smoked paprika but not Spicy. I use spicy sometimes.

A lobster bake or crawfish boil is more difficult but I never hear an American say how hard it is to do well.

    This is a "show" paella and nothing like what home paella. Always use a grill except Step 1. We were told repeatedly, "Paella is a RICE dish" and a good broth is the key to a good paella. With a gallon of water cook a whole chicken & appropriate veggies until it falls off the bond. Then start with the other meats in the Paella pan, bell peppers, onions, peas, tomatoes, asparagus, etc Finally add the rice and that broth (with or without straining out the fat). A grill will always give an incredible crispy socarrat that eaters fight over.

      Omg, you went to Spain, ate a dish that's from Valencia (of which in cities like Madrid and Barcelona for example they have no idea how to prepare it either) and then you go around saying paella is lousy. You probably didn't even have paella. On top of that you don't even remember where you travelled... If you don't care about other cultures that's fine, just don't travel to those places either then.

      eso te pasa por comer en cualquier sitio ,sin fijarte, yo nunca comería pizza en Italia en un bar canadiense, a lo mejor hasta buscaste una playa donde bañarte en madrid y ahora crees que en España no hay mar, que es un engaño.

    The paella never has garlic, I don’t understand this from Casa Salvador... I’ m from Cullera (Valencia). Garlic never!!

    Nice video. But I almost stopped watching when she said "Meet David!". David? Valencia? Paella? lol More like "We are gonna learn how to make the better fish and chips. Meet David!"

      She calls him Davide. That's not a Spanish name.

      In Spain David is a very popular name but we pronunce it in a diferent way, you pronunce "Dayvid" with enfasis in "ay" and we pronunce "David" with out "y" and enfasis on "id".
