    Heat up the pan and catch that chicken – we are making Paella!

    When you decide to make a Spanish special for your blog and you have a real Spaniard at home the chances for some trouble are pretty good ;)

    Paella is not Paella. First of all, I could not do a Paella with seafood because a certain person does not eat seafood. Bummer. But I can understand and it was ok. Then I thought I could do some Paella with chicken and add some chorizo to spice it up a bit. Big mistake! I think I heard the term “this is not a traditional Paella” at least a dozen times when I was looking for a recipe. You need this and that – this cannot be in there, this is wrong, nobody eats that in Spain, that is a Paella how a “guiri” (a not so nice Spanish word for foreigners) would make it…. this and much more. Well… so at the end, we made an almost traditional Paella (I insisted in the peas for some color and the onions) which turned out pretty awesome :)

    We also did not kill each other. Which is also pretty awesome :P

    ¡Buen provecho!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. Peel the garlic cloves and cut into small pieces. Add to a mortar with a pinch of salt and some saffron threads. Grind until you get a paste. Set aside. Chop the onion, red and green pepper into small cubes. Hold some of the red pepper back for decoration.

    2. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the oil to a paella pan (paellera) or a regular pan and heat up to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry just slightly, so it gets some color from all sides – it does not have to be cooked completely. Take the chicken out of the pan and place on a plate.

    3. Add another 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, the chopped peppers, and onion and fry for couple minutes. Add the garlic paste let it fry a bit – be careful, don’t burn it. Add the tomato passata and pimentón. Let cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the water and stir. Season with some more salt and pepper if needed. Add the lima beans and chicken to the pan and bring everything to a boil and let cook for about 5 minutes.

    4. Add the rice and stir until everything comes to a boil again. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes – add some more water for adjustment if you see it is gone too fast. Add the peas and let simmer for 5 more minutes. The water should be sucked up by the rice and it should be cooked but not too soft. Decorate with the remaining pepper and serve in the pan with some lemon wedges.

    1. Den Knoblauch schälen und in kleine Stücke schneiden. In einem Mörser mit etwas Salz und ein paar Safranfäden zermahlen, bis eine Paste entsteht. Zur Seite stellen. Zwiebel, rote und grüne Paprika in kleine Würfel schneiden. Etwas von der roten Paprika für die Dekoration zurückhalten.

    2. 2-3 EL Öl in der Paella Pfanne (Paellera) oder in einer normalen Pfanne erhitzen (Mittlere Stufe). Hühnchen zugeben und kurz anbraten – das Hühnchen sollte rundum etwas Farbe bekommen, muss aber nicht durchgebraten sein. Hühnchen herausnehmen und auf einen Teller legen.

    3. Noch einmal 1-2 EL Öl in die Pfanne geben und die Paprika und Zwiebeln darin kurz anbraten. Die Knoblauchpaste zugeben und mit anbraten. Vorsicht: Nicht anbrennen lassen! Passierte Tomaten und Pimentón zugeben und alles für 1-2 Minuten köcheln lassen. Wasser zugeben und verrühren. Mit Salz und Pfeffer abschmecken. Limabohnen und Hühnchen in die Pfanne geben und alles für etwa 5 Minuten köcheln lassen.

    4. Den Reis zugeben und verrühren, bis alles noch einmal aufkocht. Hitzezufuhr reduzieren und für etwa 15 Minuten leicht köcheln lassen – sollte die Flüssigkeit zu schnell verdampfen, noch etwas Wasser nachschütten. Die Erbsen zugeben und weitere 5 Minuten leicht köcheln lassen. Der Reis sollte die Flüssigkeit aufgesogen haben und durchgekocht sein – aber nicht zu weich. Mit der restlichen Paprika dekorieren und in der Pfanne mit ein paar Zitronenscheiben servieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
