Traditional Meat Paella Recipe
Meat paella is a classic of Valencian cuisine, perfect for enjoying with family or friends. Here’s a simple yet authentic recipe that stands out for its rich flavor and tradition.
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
- 400 g (2 cups) of paella rice
- 1 liter (4 cups) of chicken stock or water with a pinch of salt
- 200 g (7 oz) of chicken, chopped
- 200 g (7 oz) of rabbit, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 100 g (3.5 oz) of flat green beans
- 2 ripe tomatoes, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
- A few strands of saffron or food coloring
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the paella pan: Place the paella pan over medium heat and pour in a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, fry the chopped chicken and rabbit until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same oil, add the green beans and red bell pepper. Cook for a few minutes until softened.
- Make the sofrito: Add the minced garlic and grated tomatoes to the pan with the vegetables. Cook over medium heat until the tomato reduces and the mixture becomes well-integrated. Stir in the sweet paprika quickly to avoid burning.
- Add the rice: Return the meat to the pan and mix with the sofrito. Add the rice and stir for a minute to allow it to absorb the flavors.
- Pour in the stock: Pour the hot stock or salted water into the pan, distributing it evenly. Add the saffron strands. Cook on high heat for the first 8 minutes, then reduce to medium heat. Avoid stirring the rice once the stock is added.
- Cook and let it rest: Cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is done and the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat and let the paella rest, covered with a clean cloth, for 5 minutes.
Tips for perfect results
For an authentic and delicious paella, it’s essential to keep the rice layer thin and evenly spread across the pan. Ideally, the rice should be no more than 2 cm thick to ensure even cooking and proper absorption of flavors. This technique also gives the paella its characteristic texture and appearance.
Using fresh, high-quality ingredients is another key factor. From the meats and vegetables to the olive oil and saffron, each component contributes to the depth of flavor and the authenticity of the dish. Opt for local and seasonal produce whenever possible for the best results.
If you enjoy a smoky, aromatic touch in your paella, consider adding a sprig of rosemary during cooking. This small addition can elevate the dish, providing a hint of Mediterranean flair that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
