How to Make Arroz al Horno Spanish meaty rice from Valencia Spain

Full Recipe: happymediterranean.com/arroz-...
Arroz al horno is a hearty Valencian rice dish that’s made with the famous bomba rice. As the name suggests (literally translates to ‘oven-baked rice’), this dish is cooked in the oven. It uses a few different cuts of pork, and it’s traditionally cooked in a large ceramic dish and cooked with morcilla sausage and garnished with a whole head of garlic and some sliced tomato.
As with much of Spanish cooking, a rich sofrito sauce is used to help flavor the dish along with plenty of smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. While this recipe is typically not spicy, you can easily add some heat with a little cayenne pepper or chili to suit your taste.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Oven time: 30 minutes
Ready in: 1 hour
__Ingredients (serves 6)__
2 cups of paella rice (e.g. Bomba rice)
2 morcilla (blood) sausages
5-6 normal sausages (chorizo is also great)
14 oz / 400g of pancetta (slices 1/8th inch / 3mm thick)
7 oz / 200g of large bacon lardons (1 inch / 2.5cm cubes)
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tomatoes grated, skin removed
1 tomato (sliced 1/8th inch rounds)
1 large onion diced
6 cloves of garlic diced
1 whole head of garlic (tops trimmed)
2 heaped teaspoons of smoked paprika
Salt and cracked black pepper for seasoning (to taste)
Handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
33 fl oz / 1 liter of chicken stock
1-2 lemons, cut into wedges (for serving)
__Equipment Needed__
You’ll need to use the stove top and the oven for this recipe. If you don’t have a suitable pan for both, using two different pans/dishes will also work out fine.
1 large flat pan (stove top and oven-proof) or oven-proof dish (approx 12-15 inches/30-40cm)
1 large non-stick frying pan (if using oven-proof dish)
Box grater
