Paella mit Hähnchen selber machen - valencianische Art

[Music] Hello and welcome to Thomas Cooks. Today, I wanted to make something similar and that is a Valencian paella. Something always came up that prevented me from making it – she is not entirely original because I make it without snails and without rabbit, only with chicken. Nevertheless, it is damn delicious. And I have even bought a pair of Japanese chopsticks just for this occasion, but don’t worry, you don’t need them. I’m only doing it because it looks nice in the video underneath. You can make it in a pan, no problem. I’m making mine on a gas burner, but you can make it on any stove. I just wanted to have the right feeling today. Now, let’s have some fun with the video.

For our ingredients, I am taking Munich and Cologne into account. Here, I have a pro head that I have already separated in the joint, so we should all get two large pieces. This is quite generous, considering that the main ingredient here is rice. I have fresh tomatoes, a little rosemary, some saffron, and some smoked paprika from Spain, called Pimentón. If you can’t get this, just use a sweet paprika, but it doesn’t have that smoky flavor. We also need salt – garlic is optional, but I like it – as well as green beans and white beans. For garnishing, we need some fresh rosemary and lemon. The most important ingredient here is the rice – I have a variety called Arroz Bomba, a round grain rice with little starch, which is perfect for paella, as it doesn’t stick together.

Now let’s heat up our pan. I am using a 40cm diameter pan, which should be enough for eight people. Don’t worry about my shoes – I thought they wouldn’t show in the video, so I just put on something comfortable. Take a generous slug of olive oil and put it in the pan. Then add the chicken and let it slowly cook on a low heat. This will prevent the meat from sticking to the pan, and it will also ensure that it’s evenly cooked from every side. Meanwhile, let’s prepare the green beans. Trim the edges and leave them to one side. When the chicken is nicely cooked, add the white beans and let them cook as well. This will take around 20-25 minutes – just enough time to make a great broth.

Once the chicken, white beans, and green beans are done, it’s time to add the tomatoes. Make sure to scrape everything off the bottom of the pan, so all the flavors blend together. Add the garlic, followed by the smoked paprika. If you don’t like the smoky taste, just use sweet paprika. Mix everything well and let it cook for a few more minutes, until everything is nicely browned. Then add the broth, following the ratio of one part rice to three parts water. Let it cook again for around 20 minutes and check if you need to add any more salt.

Now it’s time to add the saffron. Take a few strands, soak them in hot water, and add them to the pan. Mix everything well and let it cook for a few more minutes. Finally, add the green beans and the rosemary. Let it cook until everything is nice and tender. Your Paella Valenciana is now ready to be served. Cut some lemon wedges for garnishing, and you’re good to go. Enjoy!

In conclusion, making Paella Valenciana is not difficult; it only requires a little patience and attention. With these simple ingredients and steps, you can make something delicious for yourself and your loved ones. So don’t hesitate and make this perfect dish for your next occasion. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed it. [Music]
