I made a very similar dish for my favourite band and the guitarist said it was excellent. My claim to fame.

[@ScottBaptie]

Rock on!

[@ianhotson5658]

Cooked up a storm last night with this top recipe. Love the addition of chorizo. This will be ace to cook without the prawns for my mum who has suddenly developed a fish allergy in her later years.

[@ScottBaptie]

Perfect!

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Turmeric substituted for costly saffron! What an original idea! Thanks Scott, you saved me a few bucks. Will be making this for the potluck.

[@ScottBaptie]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@raniayacoub1770]

Good Morning Scott Wonderful Easy to follow Recipe. I have to attempt this Spanish Recipe Thanx for sharing this great Video! 😊🎉

[@ScottBaptie]

Thanks so much Rania. I am glad you like it.

[@davidphillips5224]

Once the water is put in and it's left to cook you should not stir the paella. This allows the rice at the bottom to burn into a crispy crust called socarat

[@ScottBaptie]

Thanks David. Yes, after several trips to Spain since making this, I've realised the error of my ways 🙈

[@13IanH]

Either with of without. Paella is always delicious 😋

[@ScottBaptie]

So true!

[@cosplaywithalf6531]

Definitely with chorizo

[@ScottBaptie]

Hope you enjoy :)

[@chrisclements1192]

Yes

[@ScottBaptie]

🤙🏻

[@HIBERNIAN575]

Chorizo all day long ❤

[@ScottBaptie]

We're on the same page then!

[@piotr8821]

A quick question: Doesn't paella usually get finished in an oven to get that crispy texture on top? When I lived in Barcelona, every paella I had was served like that.

[@ScottBaptie]

I think that's maybe just a regional variety. It's often cooked in a gigantic paella pan and there is no way it would fit in an oven

[@jorgedelmundillo6187]

Definitely no. What it goes into the oven is "arrós al forn" that literally mean baked rice dish

[@MrLeigh122]

With chorizo of course.

[@ScottBaptie]

Agreed

[@nenu]

Then it's not Paella.
Not all spanish rice dishes are called Paella.

[@soniahu7718]

With!!! 😊

[@ScottBaptie]

Always! 🤩

[@coolabah-blue]

Looks good! No saffron?

[@ScottBaptie]

Scottish. Too expensive 🤣 Hence the tumeric....

[@sharongodbold8733]

With, looks lovely, how many servings ?

[@ScottBaptie]

This is good for 4 servings. Enjoy!

[@gfer66]

It's an "arroz con cosas", not a paella.
Paella rice must be almost dry, it's not a rice soup neither a risotto.
You should NEVER stir the rice, as stirring prevents the Maillard reaction that causes socarrat from occurring.

[@ScottBaptie]

Thank you, this is helpful feedback 👍🏻

[@user-bo1xz2qr6x]

If it was just for me I would do it without chiritzo but my partner has already said definitely with so that's what I'll do

[@ScottBaptie]

Enjoy the recipe!

[@jacquelineallen8928]

With, my husband loves chirizo

[@ScottBaptie]

Agreed!

[@nenu]

Then he loves Arroz Campero, not Paella (which does not have chorizo)
Not all spanish dishes are called Paella. Paella is one of many spanish rice dishes.

[@markbaird9847]

Always with chorizo

[@ScottBaptie]

Of course 😁

[@miloslavjungmann6836]

SSSSSSaaaaaaaaffffffrrrrrrrooooooonnnnnnnnn

[@ScottBaptie]

True. It’s missing.

[@user-mq2tz3ry2v]

With...love chorizo :)

[@ScottBaptie]

💯

[@nenu]

Paella with chorizo, definitely NOT a taste of Spain as chorizo is not used in Paella

[@ScottBaptie]

I know, I mention this in the video 👍🏻

[@nenu]

@@ScottBaptie which is not to say that chorizo is not used with rice in Spain
I think the issue comes from the usage of the word Paella for any kind of spanish rice.
Ravioli and Spaghetti are both Pasta. But you can't make Ravioli carbonara using spaghetti...
Same with rice.
Arroz a la Paella, Arroz Campero or any other spanish rice dishes are all Rice. But Arroz Campero and others are not Paella. They are dishes of their own

[@irenegraham6216]

Always with chorizo

[@ScottBaptie]
