We made our very first paella on the cooker hob but found it very
difficult to cook it evenly...we then bought this great little burner
which works fantastically well for pans up to 16 inch in diameter (8 -
10 people). It has cooked many memorable paellas!
Vegetarian
Paella Method
- Now in a 13"
Paella Pan - on a high heat - fry
the onions mushrooms, red pepper,
carrot and
courgette/zucchini - stirring frequently for about five
minutes, you want
them to color but not burn.
- Reduce
the heat to low and add the garlic
stirring for two minutes.
- Add
the tomatoes and stir for a further two minutes.
- Then
the rice - which you stir for a couple
of
minutes until it begins to turn opaque.
- Remove
from the heat and boil up the stock
with the
Saffron for about ten minutes.
- Now
- replace the Paella Pan on a high heat - add
the peas
and beans half of the stock and give a final stir.
- Let
the liquid reduce (don't stir it again)
and
add the rest of the stock.
- Cook
until the rice has absorbed 90% of the
liquid and then remove from the heat.
- Cover
the Pan with a clean cloth and leave
for ten
minutes or so, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
- Now
- chop some parsley and sprinkle liberally
on
top of your Paella.
- Serve
with the lemon quarters.
Estupendo!
