Yesterday's step by step Paella (Picture heavy)

BenCour

I decided to do my first outdoor paella yesterday on the Large, so here is a summary :

The prep !


Saute the chicken


Then the pork


Then the ham and Chorizo,


Now some shallots, ognions, garlic and hot peper


A nice cold Blonde D'Achouffe to help me get through this


Browning the rice


Gradually adding the chicken/saffron broth


Scallops and shrimps, waiting for their turn


The rice is almost ready


Adding back the meat


Then the scallops and shrimps


Et voila !

ILL--EGGER

That looks fantastic. I should really give that a try one of these days.

nice!!!! Pics and food. I like your pan, where did you get it. What size.

Now that looks like it would have won a throwdown.

BenCour

Hello Rooster,

The pan is 15.5 inches wide. I can tell you where I got it but I don't think it will help much , it's called Depres Laporte, a shop here in Laval, a suburb of Montreal. Here is the site

Now...........that is a great looking paella my friend......where did you get the paella dish with the vertical handles??

Charleston Dave

Beautiful job, a real tutorial on how to do paella.

It's obvious this is only your first outside paella. Efficient and well-organized.

All I need now is a source to buy oignons stateside...

Two questions:

(1) What functional benefit is there to using the adjustable rig for this cook?

(2) Re the pan...are you satisfied with the 15.5 pan, and is this measurement taken from the outside of the handles, or did you need to bend the handles up to make the pan fit?

Thanks for the post. Nice work!

BenCour

Hello Charleston Dave,

For the oignons, I can always try to ship you some

To answer your questions,

The pan is kind of thin so I was trying to be a bit further from the fire to prevent sticking. I'm not sure if it helped. For sure you can do without it.

Yes the 15.5 is taken from the outside, the handles were already like that so I didn't have to modify anything.
