I adore Paella but don’t often have the time or all of the ingredients needed to make the real deal. If you’re a fan, and you like quick versions, you can check out my recipe for SHRIMP AND CHORIZO RICE (which is similar but is more tomato-based) and if you have a bit more time, you can try my CHORIZO & CHICKEN PAELLA which cooks longer for more flavor and has the addition of red peppers as well as tomatoes. This one-pot dinner is one of those recipes that everyone can agree on. The flavors are simple enough for the kids but the flavors are sophisticated enough to satisfy adults too.
What Rice For Paella?
This recipe calls for parboiled or converted rice. In the US, look for Uncle Bens Converted Rice, or Golden Canilla Parboiled Rice. In the UK, buy Uncle Bens Long Grain Rice (not quick cook). Substituting The Rice You can use other types of long-grain rice (although I don’t recommend instant, quick-cook, or brown rice). Just be sure to consult the package instructions for the rice to liquid ratios and cooking times and adjust accordingly. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
