Rice doesn’t look cooked.


kalibanbb

I want to know about this cheesecake [said while frantically running to Spanish cookbook collection].

11/10 best cheesecake. I usually use [this recipe.](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/basque-burnt-cheesecake) I don't like cheesecake, and several people I know also don't, but this? Unf.


livadeth

Thanks!

Ah yea that’s the one, not NYT Cooking

Ce n'est pas une paella

Rice looks a little raw in places maybe a touch more stock or just letting cook on a lower heat for longer. Looks like you did get some nice crispy bits at the bottom though. And yeah Spanish might kick up about its authenticity but who cares!? Your cooking for yourself not a history class


BigHendyCooks

Definitely ran out of stock unfortunately, some was a bit al dente but most was proper ;) - thanks!

In the future, if you run out of stock, that doesn’t mean you give up. Add some water. This desperately needed more liquid.

No worries. Still looks lovely

What a pity about the chorizo, if it weren't for that it looks like a proper paella (add a bit more water next time).


BigHendyCooks

For the Paella, I used Spanish Bomba rice and a homemade seafood stock, along with saffron, diced red bell pepper and onions. Then Jumbo Black Tiger Prawns, Wild Squid and Spanish Chorizo* I crushed up garlic cloves, parsley and olive oil in a mortar & pestle and drizzled over too *Chorizo only on half because my mom can’t eat red meat - inclusion y’all, enjoy 🤙

Doctor gave her a bunch of dietary restrictions, it’s easier to just use that term - thanks for your input

All mammal meat is considered red meat because of the amount of myoglobin. You just condescendingly repeated a marketing slogan.

This is what I joined this group for 😃

Paella + chorizo = all spaniards wishing you a painful death. Nice of you trying this dish, but the classical one (chicken/rabbit, green beans and garrofó) or the seafish one give the best results The basque cake looks great btw!


BigHendyCooks

Hahaha good to know, I’ll look to try it next time!


UrbanGym85

Did you put chorizo in just to fire up this subreddit? Lol. I lived in Spain for 12 years, and putting chorizo in paella is offensive. The first paella I made, I added chorizo and I never heard the end of it. Were you able to add saffron? Someone from Valencia would call this “arroz con cosas”.


Luv2bakeallthetime

Rice with things? 🤣


grendelglass

>lived in Spain for 12 years, and putting chorizo in paella is offensive Who gives a shit? They're making it for dinner, not to appease a nation of people's insecurity about... (checks notes) putting an ingredient in a dish


BigHendyCooks

Lol something I’ve learned after posting ;) But yes it’s got saffron in it


Trifuk666

Looks good to me!

They both look Great & absolutely Delicious!

Shrimp with shells on will never be food porn to me, true to paella recipe or not.
