Fantastic Seafood Paella (COOKED #2 with the master of paella @gargon)

in food •  8 years ago 

@gargon approached me with his idea of doing a collaboration paella post, I got all excited as one of my all time favorite dishes is Seafood Paella. I can eat paella the whole day. Mostly in restaurants you have to order a Paella for 2 , I always order a (2 Person) Paella for myself alone ;)

So please support him with your votes if you like his Paella! It looks so delicious!

Hi Everyone!

Just follow the instructions above every picture. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do every Sunday 😉

First thing you do is put the clams into water with some salt

Leave the little clams inside the water

You can use any vitroceramic although the heat is very well distributed with such a tool for paellas

Clean and ready!

IMG_5268

Put the chicken on the paellera with olive oil

IMG_5271

Some green beans and green peppers

IMG_5273

Cut the beans and the peppers and take some garlic. Don«t cut the garlic

IMG_5278

Fry the chicken and both sides

I've had Paella years back when visited Gran Canaria, and have made a couple times since. This recipe looks fantastic, and I will certainly give a try.
THANKS

;) fantastic! please post a picture ! follow @gargon too ;)

@knozaki2015 @gargon

Your posts either make me to want to eat or to travel.

btw. instead of rice colorant use "turmeric". same effect plus it adds taste

yes agre. but all spanians I know use the colorant ;)

Yes that is a good idea! You could do paella without any color at all, that yellow color looks so amazing ;)

it has to be saffron but it is extreamly expensive! the most expensive specie in the world I´d say

I love paella. Philippine version is very similar. And they taste great, too. Philippines was under Spanish colony for 300 years and most of Spain's culture and tradition had been inculcated to Philippine culture as well. Philippines has so many Spanish dishes and most of them retain Spanish name as well.

Oh again something learned on steemit. I have to t ry a Philippine version of paella !

Come visit and enjoy more Spanish dish Philippine version.

I have to visit Philippines, yes even a lot of people speak spanish over there right? or not so?

Yeah I think some do

Yes there is a place where they actually speak some sort of Spanish language called Chabacano. It's not real Spanish but any Spanish person will be able to understand. I actually took 4 semesters of Spanish classes but it never sank in to my system LOL. You should come visit!

Wow, That sounds very interesting, i´d love to ear that spanish from there, I will visit for sure

OMG!!! what the hell that looks INSANE!!!! Can I have some :)

Sure!! tell me your adresss and I send some :) or maybe you can try to cook it, I´m sure yours will taste even better :)

This looks delicious. Brings back some good memories.

Yeah agree. that is the most delicious paella i have ever seen ;)

Have you been living in Spain or something?

Don't know if you was asking me or knozaki. I just had some very good Paellas at holidays in Spain.

Great post and information!

Thanks!

Unusual for me the dish, I wonder :)

you never had paella? omg. paella is the best spanish dish i can imagine ;)

Spanish Saffron is a must, try to use it next time when you add the rice, it gives a very nice flavour and color.
It looks delicious, well down! . It is one of my favourite dishes.

I always have Saffron from turkey. whats the difference between them?

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Never tasted saffron from Turkey, probably they are very similar. Spain is the second saffron producing country and Iran the first one.

ah didn't know that interesting info

Yes I agree on that, you know in the old times paella was made just with the leftovers from other days ?

You can make paella with many different ingredients, it is not necessary to use expensive ingredients. Mine is very similar to yours.

love those shells!

You can taste the sea!!

Love Seafood Paella! :D

Try to cook it! :)

aaah this look really delicious i should try its at home

If you do take a pic! :)

I'm doing tomorrow one of those for some friends, luckily, @gargon and I have the same master!!

wow ! that's great to hear. post you picture in a comment !

I'll post it! Ill be missing the Seafood though. It will be more the "paella valenciana" way. The one, @gargon posted is moore the "paella malagueña" or "marinera", which includes fresh see food and it's more likely to be served in the south spanish mediterranean see.
The paella was originally from a region on the spanish east cost called "costa blanca". It was basically the kind of dish the poor people used to it. The Main ingredients were Rice and Rabit, both cheap and easy to find in that part of the iberian coast. The yellow saffron was just to give a little bit of colour and make it look more delicious.

Wow that's a huge serving!

it was for a lot of people, you but you could make it smaller :)

Thank you for this DELICiOUS looking dish!

I love it too !

I´m glad you like it :)
