    Hey OP!

    just wondering how important it is to have saffron in the dish?
    can i substitute something else for it?

    great recipe btw ive been looking for a good recipe for paella :)

    Hey

    I always use Saffron when I am making this, but as other poster said they subbed turmeric and it was grand! Saffron gives it a great colour, but turmeric will do similar, and the chorizo oils add great colour anyhow. Hope you enjoy :)

    Ok now I have a serious pain in my .... with this thread

    :pac:

    Loopy, you are just bold. :pac:

    So I made this again. I got a proper paella pan recently and just couldn't resist. This is the way I had it served before in Spain. It's so gilded that you can't actually see the rice...

    You'll get one in Stock, Kitchen Complements, BT, Arnott's - anywhere like that. Or if you know anyone going to Spain any time soon, ask them to get one for you, it'll be much cheaper.

    Btw, squeezing the juice of a full lemon into paella just before serving really lifts the whole dish, I find.

    made this saturday as was having people over, very tasty I have to admit, usually i find paella abit bland... once this was ready i bunged it in the slow cooker to keep warm and threw the precooked prawns in about a half hour before serving to heat them, turned out lovely!

    Thanks for the recipe!

    Been a long time since I followed this recipe (or had paella in general!) but I currently have it cooking for tonight's dinner!

    Made this last night for dinner. As beautiful as ever although I think I may have put a little too much oil in the pan at the beginning which slightly changed the overall texture a little bit. It was also the first time I made the recipe with the full quantities, all the other times I halved the ingredients. So lots leftover for dinner tonight.

    I got some beautiful baby squid from Gannet in Ballybane (also in the Galway market on a Sat) so am ready to try this. I think I will just griddle pan the squid and put them in at the very last minute. They work really well on the griddle. pop up to full size in a couple of seconds.
    I will put a paella pan on my wish list.
