Paella on the egg

johann · September 2009

Any one had good luck with doing one?

I see some recipes on here:
http://www.nakedwhiz.com/paella/paella.htm

I was wondering if anyone added lobster etc to it? or is the lobster boiled and just added in?

Depending on how you like your rice done in them, check with jagweed (stike) or Fidel. Seems they are about the best at it on here.

Fidel · September 2009

I've done a lot of paella. Normally turns out well and is a blast to cook. The one I did this past weekend needed more salt though.

I had one done with lobster once, and to be honest I don't recall if the lobster was steamed or grilled, but I'm pretty sure it was cooked beforehand. That's all I have to say about that particular paella. Nothing derogatory about it at all. Honest.

There is only one thing around here that I am even in the top ten.

Think "void surrounded by a sphincter muscle" and that's me.

Rod made Paella at my house on Saturday and it was delicious. Scroll through the post below and see the pics & some of the technique:

Rusty Rooster · September 2009

Way to modest for what I have seen Rod. I really wish I could have been there to see & try yours Saturday, but a cantankerous water heater demanded my presence. Maybe you should make one for Eggtoberfest? haha See ya there.

Or for Fidelfest?

:evil:

Not a bad idea Patty....I may just do that!

Now I just need a invite.

Fidel · September 2009

Tom,

Come to FidelFest.

Rusty Rooster · September 2009

WOW, on the forum where you cannot deny it and everything? I am honored. Now to just be sure to get there.

johann · September 2009

My wife's family is Peurto Rican and I just want to impress. All the paella's they have are seafood based, so I just assumed that all paella's were. Then I found the nakedwhiz recipes and found out that it wasn't the case.

Hence, asking around the forums. First step to get pan, next step practice, then have the in-laws over.

slide show , click pic, of seafood paella,, i do not precook seafood.. chicken and sausage yes but not seafood. put it in toward the end lobster pieces should cook like shrimp 10 minutes or so should do it, if you pre cook just throw it on at the very end or it will be tough,, either way will work and if this is your first pre cook careful to not overcook and add at the very end

johann,

Paella is a pretty easy cook and the original ingredients were from land based animals. The rice is important, calasparra or bomba and saffron thread is a common ingredient. It has been cooked on open fire for centuries and you can pretty much use what you want as ingredients.

rsmdale · September 2009

Johann the best advice I can give you is to use Bomba rice and a good saffron(such as Valencia)This is one of our favorite dishes.my brother-in-law is from Argentina and his uncle taught me this.

GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Made my first one last Sunday. As others have stated...

It's a lot of fun to make.

Don't pre-cook shrimp and scallops. I did and they ended up overcooked for my liking.

For me I will use a little less safron next time. Maybe I had too much.

Also someone told me to add some Old Bay seasoning and also use clams and/or mussels to get some of there juice.

I'm going to try it again soon. Good Luck.

I can bring the my bigger pan since there will be many there.

Fidel · September 2009

That was the idea!!

Maybe do two paella. I have a very interesting idea I may try -- a cajun-valencia fusion type paella with andouille sausage, crawfish, okra, some other junk. I may give that a trial run one day soon. Wanna come over and be my judge? I'm thinking we can try that for the OU-scUM game next weekend. You and Kim can come over - we'll try that paella and have some wings/ABT/other apps as backup in case it sucks.

vidalia1 · September 2009

OUbetterwatch out...scUM game??? what the heck?? ok for some more Paella I will put up with the trash talking...oh everyone please remember Dr Zauis gave me Miami & 21 points...the bet is he cooks Paella if he loses and I buy the rice if I lose....

:silly: :woohoo:

Let's Go Canes!!!!!!!
