If you go to Spain, you must try the local paella, which is also a characteristic of Spain. It tastes very good. If you don't know where to eat good paella in Spain, the following small series will recommend it to everyone. Three elements of the soul of paella
1. Pan
A round pan with two ears, the depth of which is no more than three centimeters, can make rice grains contact with heat in a large area and fully absorb the taste of other ingredients, and it can also produce a burnt and hard taste, which is similar to the "crispy rice" flavor to make the taste better.
2. Spanish rice
The commonly used Spanish rice is Bomba, Bahia and Senia, among which Bomba is also called Valencia rice, which is relatively suitable for making paella. This kind of rice is short and small, with low starch content and very good water absorption. The cooked rice grains are full and distinct.
3. Crocus sativus
On the one hand, crocus will dye paella into bright golden yellow, on the other hand, its special aroma adds a bit of indescribable richness and mystery to the taste of paella.
