Home Made Knock Up Paella

[retrocop]

Just knocked up a quick Paella.I must say it looks great and just about enough socarrat. I will try to keep some back for the mem sahib when she returns from Dorset on Sunday. But there again it does look good. :-)

So what did you put in your paella then? Prawns? Other seafood? Chicken? Chorizo? Saying you made a paella is like saying you made a curry; it doesn't tell us anything about it.

I love paella, with the seafood versions probably being my favourites.

I wouldn't keep it until Sunday. By the way, what is socarrat ?

[retrocop]

Sorry Chris,
Not totally authentic with rabbit and snails but chicken thighs,mussels,fan tail prawns, shrimp,clams, calamari.paella rice,wine,stock,peas,olives,garlid onion,mixed chopped capsicum, saffron,smoked sweet paprika. I can supply a photo if you want. The memsahib was impressed. :-)

Socarrat is the burnt caremelised crispy bits of rice usually stuck on the bottom of the Paella pan. Highly fought over by real Spaniards and considered the best part.

That sounds amazing. Lucky Mrs Retro. If it lasts that long.
You’ll just have to make another one.

>>> I can supply a photo if you want

Photo not required. Invitation to your house, to tuck into it, definitely required!

I could not eat fish and meat together but I'm glad you enjoyed your dish. Will it still be edible on Sunday?

[retrocop]

Tilly
Of course. I can divide the remainder into double helpings and freeze them in bowls.

[Tilly2]

There you go then, Retro.

Well done retro, to be honest I wouldn't know where to begin, there was a mention of frey bentos pies on AB a few weeks back and that's about best I can do at the moment ;-)

Sorry Chris,
Had to share it with you. :-)

Yes. As I mentioned @ 2122 the authentic Paella a la peasant would use rabbit and snails for those in the Spanish mountains who tend sheep and goats and not in proximity to coastal seafood.
