Tonights Dinner...


Todays Dinner...

Paia

Paia is a Valencia dish, made for a firework festival in May 15th-20th. They use this Gynormous pan called a Paella and toss all these ingredients together, 70% ratio rice and the other 30% meat of all kinds and Veggies! There are many types of Paia and down below is my very own favorite personal recipe.

Paia for 6ppl.

1 carrot, small diced
1 celery stick, small diced
2 scallions sliced
2 bell peppers medium diced
2 stocks of Thyme or ½ tsp

1.5 lbs of meat, chicken, or seafood


5 cups of cooked steamed rice

1 tsp of chicken base
½ of water
1oz of pineapple Juice
1 tsp Orange food coloring
pinch of saffron
Salt and Pepper to taste

Sweat veggies with Olive oil on Paella pan or a wok pan, when they start to look translucent, add the Protein, get some nice color, then rice and the remaining ingredients. Stir constantly until protein is fully cooked and water has reduced. Cover it with newspaper and serve.

Buen Provecho!
