"Sorry Seeside but that isn’t paella 
What would you call it then ?
I have no idea but I’ll show you paella and mine doesn’t have fish either. Chicken and chorizo  "
So the same as mine then except I've added some pepperoni to it as well. |

It's more like a paella casserole but no that's not paella!
Plus saffron - good call whoever said it - there is no substitute for it. It's like making soup without a bay leaf. You know when it's not there. |

Not tomato sauce as in ketchup...
Just in case that's what you're thinking. |

"Is it just the type of rice which makes the difference between paella and risotto?"
Traditionally.. Risotto is continuously stirred and paella is never stirred although I find with my cheap paella dish I get hot spots which makes the rice stick. I cheat and move it around |

I tend to find it "bitty" if you know what I mean. Whenever I've had paella in the past it's almost like there are grains of sand in it.
It's a dish I REALLY want to like, but the sand effect has put me off.

Have to say having spent s lot of time in Spain over the years as a child through to adulthood I can honestly say that no self respecting Spaniard with a modicum of taste and respecting their culinary tradition would ever cook a paella combing the ingredients as outlined in the recipe given. There are essentially three main variations of the classic dish, paupers, mountain and coastal. The common elements involve proper local rice, onions, chorizo, pimento and saffron. The protein elements vary, coastal using fish and shellfish, mountain using rabbit or chicken, pauper uses either broad or butter beams and green beans. Over the years the various traditional recipes have been mixed up to create the western idealised version mixing various elements of each!! Each to their own!! |

I must confess I cheated a little bit and got some pre-cooked from the deli counter. |
