Valencian here, your paella looks better than 90% of the paellas i´ve eaten at restaurants here. You´ve got my valencian seal of approval! Keep doing great videos!!!!!!!!!!
Paella is hands down my favorite dish ever. So many variations and styles to it. I first had it at a Cuban place in Atlanta and was blown away. I dream of it sometimes.
Babish, I’m really impressed. As a native Valencian and Paella lover, I have to say that probably this is the most authentic seafood paella, and most authentic paella, I’ve seen in all of TH-cam. The only thing that is wrong is the onion, but still, the rest is perfect. Very well done. Congratulations.
I have heard about not using onions in a paella. So my question is, should I just skip the onion part or do I replace it with something else? Also can I still use the onions for the stock?
One way to incorporate the Saffron is to fold aluminum foil around it, toast it, and remove it prior to frying the onion. Then before adding the stock, crush the saffron into smaller bits and add it.
Your channel brings me so much comfort. For a little while I stopped watching you because I've been dealing with disordered eating for awhile and yeah..the mindset and rules get kinda crazy, so I forced myself to stop watching you for a couple months. But at this moment and the past week when I really needed some comfort I found you on my recommended again and I'm just glad I can still find comfort in your content. Thank you ♥️ Anywyas don't mind the mini rant, it may seem unnecessary to some people but I just really wanted to say something regardless if anyone sees it :)
Having a mother who grew up in Spain, I had the privilege to grow up eating non-seafood Paella on special occasions. One of my favorite meals and got to try a few variations when we visited relatives in Spain.
Every Spaniard, and every Latin American with recent Spanish ancestry, have an intense personal opinion about Paella, no two coincede. Your paella is not exactly like my paella (therefore is inherently faulty), but seems lovely, don't let other people tell you otherwise.
I'd say you only have to say sorry (disculpas) to Valencians, because the rest of Spain...we honestly don't care that much 😂 just don't add chorizo in there
I always find it funny when people get up in arms over the ingredients in paella. It's a meal created by farmers and field hands scrounging up what they can find and using that.
I kind of understand the fear of cooking paella; it is a dish that has been bastardized so much that we spaniards have a strong reaction whenever somebody doesn't do their research and messes it up. To be fair, there are many many versions of paella, and while everybody has their own, the main rule while cooking it is to not add chorizo or anything too empowering, and using the appropiate pan, spices and rice.That being said! This is a lovely seafood paella and I'm sure you enjoyed it the way it is meant to be, sharing the full pan with a bunch of friends while toasting.

Te disculpamos en la pronunciacion Babish (We forgive you`re pronunciation Babish), I been making Paella for 20 years now, you can add the saffron into the paella BEFORE adding the rice, mix it a little and let it set in colour, after that, add the rice and go for it. The paella is a special dish and seeing you make a seafood Paella, makes me realize that now let`s see who else makes it without burning the rice. P.S. you forgot the Aioli, P.P.S. No worries is still acceptable.
As a Spanish civilian from Valencia, I can say that is a great Paella, specially Using el arrozico de Calasparra, like we say here " joder, tío eres la hostia"
Si si, se ha ganado el aprobado de la paella. En 2 o 3 semanas le llegará el carnet de españolo y la licencia para hacer balconing en Valencia o Marbella. Además del pack calcetines con chanclas.
Whenever someone says "that's not authentic" I remeber the cookbook my italian grandmother had which included 17 different recipes for marinara sauce each of which claimed to be the correct and authentic way to do it. In short the authentic way is whatever way you enjoy the most
This makes me miss my family in Spain so much. One time when I was there, I entered a paella competition with my cousin and his friends. We didn't win because we had no idea what we were doing, but we had a blast and our paella turned out pretty okay!
Great paella. I never liked seafood but after eating paella on Lanzarote my whole food world change and now im in love with paella made with fresh seafood.
Looks delicious! Also got to compliment you on your ad spots. Many creators have gone all-in on making their ads loud and ridiculous and sold by recurring characters, and they're always easy to detect and obnoxious. With the new, most-viewed segments feature on the playback overlay, it's easy to skip them entirely, which I can only imagine costs advertisers in follow-through numbers. You move in and out of ad spots so smoothly with no fanfare which reassures me that you actually believe in the product and aren't trying to distance yourself from it, and its often so smooth, I don't even realize I'm watching an ad. That's real salesmanship; make me want something before I even realize I want it. Thank you for striking such a great balance of entertainment and profitability in an environment saturated with channels that are little more than commercials competing for attention with the brightest noise.
Just came back from a trip to Spain where I tried paella for the first time! This looks great and fancier than most small restaurants make it. Props babish
I'm from Spain. From the south, we usually eat paella in summer in something call Perol. Which is kind of a party where you spend the whole day in someone summer's house. We have a joke here that when you say Paella, you say "for her".
I think it is woth mentioning the reason, paella sounds like if somebody said para ella (for her) but shortening para into pa, would be more equivalent to fo'her if you ask me
Hey andrew, great paella overall, just a tip for next time. You need a paella fire, with a wok fire is not gonna be right cause the heat has to be homogeneous, the wok fire has too much heat on the center and not much on de edges. Paella fires work on butane and distribute the heat evenly along concentric circular pipes, usually three, with holes where the butane comes out, and some extra welding like legs etc... lighting one of those things right is kind of a meme in spain. Also true hardcore terreta valencians do this with wood and fire, something to stir and some support for the pan, so you can try that too.
Hi! Why did you water the clams? All the Cookbooks i read always tell you to never water clams, just wash them/brush them carefully under cold running water
Short version..... I think he meant to say saltwater instead of just water. I am no expert, but I think he was trying to "purge" the clams of sand. My sources tell me that live clams will expel sand/"crud" and "plump up" if put in a brine for a short while. I think it is supposed to be about a two percent salt solution... But don't quote me on that. Bottom line is that it's all about avoiding having to eat sand.

I think it is supposed to be about a two percent salt solution... But don't quote me on that.
Bottom line is that it's all about avoiding having to eat sand.
Unfortunately, I see this being a future "Botched By Babish" episode just because of that burned center.
I bought a Paella pan over a year ago at an auction site with no clue what to do with it. Now I have something to do with it.
You can just call it paella, the pan has the same name as the food

@@readytobebolder Typical default person from Madrid that hasn't ever set foot in Valencia. Paella in valencian literally means frying pan. Even the RAE uses this definition.
@@danielcues no soy de Madrid, pero venga, vale, chaval jajajajaja
@@readytobebolder claro que no 😂
I suggest you to add the sweet paprika and saffron once the stock is boiling, so you will get a more darker orange color.
Oh, finally! Paella! 🤤🤤🤤
The best seafood paella made by a foreigner I've ever seen, nd how you said "Socarrat"✨👍

I bought one pack of wine. Hopefully there is a bonus bottle. From what I saw, they did not mention
I’m Chicano so half Spanish half Indigenous. I’m definitely making this!
the nice thing about expensive rice is it's still cheap. and it lets you make dishes so much better for a tiny bit of extra money.
What if you made Cyborg's Spaghetti with Triple Meat Sauce from Teen Titans episode, "Titans East part 2"
What if no
I've been looking for things you can do with the shrimp heads that you take off. What else can you do with that stock you made?
Im from Spain and I Can proudly say that this is an awesome paella 👍😎😎
Babish what id the brand of your outdoor gas cooktop? Looks perfect for a wok. Thanks.
I can appreciate the alliteration in this episode.
Since the series already ended you should try doing some of the Thai dishes from Amphibia
The traditional preparation for an arroz like this would use a sofrito made out of ñoras, tomato, garlic and parsley as well as a simple fish stock.
