I have received so many comments and messages from you guys, telling me you where supposed to be in Spain right now. But because of what happened, you had to cancel your trip. Dishes like this, will make you feel like you are in Spain.
To make this recipe, I used round rice. You can substitute it for medium grain rice or arborio rice. I also used an oven-proof paella pan. But you can use any type of oven-proof pan to make this dish. On a last note, make sure to use high-quality saffron. This is possibly, the most important ingredient in this dish.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: Again very important, use either an oven-proof paella pan (not all of them are oven proof!) or any other type of pan that can be safely used in an oven. In my oven it took 25 minutes to get this dish done, but every oven heats differently, so check after 20 minutes.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
