What's Included:
• El Paeller Spanish Paella Rice
A paella is only as good as the rice at its core, and the El Paeller Spanish Paella Rice is the crème de la crème of rice varieties. Known for its remarkable ability to absorb rich flavors and cook quickly, this rice is necessary to perfect a traditional paella. It is guaranteed to add a touch of magic to your arroz (rice). Pro Tip: before cooking, gently toast the rice to unlock its inherent nuttiness and depth of flavor.
• El Paeller “Tradición a La Lena” Vegetarian Paella Broth
This wood-fired paella broth is a staple of Chef Katie Button’s home pantry. It is rich and flavorful, bursting with a depth of flavor that will brighten your dish.
• O-Med 100% Arbequina Olive Oil
No paella is complete without the savory power of aioli - a creamy, garlicky condiment that adds the zesty finishing touch to your paella - and Arbequina Olive Oil is the way to go! This mild and smooth olive oil is excellent for cooking and as a base for your favorite sauces or condiments. Its smooth, golden texture adds a luscious silkiness to your aioli while imparting a subtle, nutty flavor.
• Professional Range Extra Polished Iron Induction Paella Pan (13.4”)
This pan is an essential kitchen staple for those looking to perfect the art of cooking traditional Spanish cuisine at home. Safe for all cooking surfaces. The dimples in the pan’s base allow oil to pool in the center, facilitating even cooking. Additionally, its extra short height assures that your rice will stay “un dedo” (aka “one finger” or ½ inch) thick, resulting in the perfect crunchy, caramelized socarrat - that coveted layer of crispy rice on the pan’s bottom. Not just for Paella, these high-quality pans can be used to cook any meal that requires even heat distribution, from risotto to pan-fried treats to one-pan meals. Its classic Spanish design makes it an elegant serving dish you can bring to the table.
Yield: 2-3 portions / active time: 30 minutes / total time: 30 minutes
