Instructions to make Paella:
- Add olive oil to a paella dish (or a wider than shallow pan) and get hot.
- Add the onions and caramelise them. I like to add a tiny bit of water to prevent them from burning. If you don't like caramelised onions, add them in the next step.
- Add the meats and pork fat (and extra bones if you have them) to the pan and let it cook for a few minutes. Then add garlic and remove the meat once they get a bit of colour in the outside (leave the bones in)
- Add the peas, beans and tomatoes. Cook for a further couple minutes before adding the paprika, saffron/Safflower, lemon juice and bay leaf. Mix together and cook for another minute
- Add water until it's 3/4 way up the dish. Mix together.
- Let the water come to a boil and then turn the heat down, leaving it to simmer for 45 minutes. Check on it every now and again. Add more water if it's looking low.
- Add the meats back in and simmer for a further 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes remove any extra bones and fat and the bayleaf.
- Turn the heat back onto full and add the red peppers, parsley and rice. Mix it all together
- Let it cook until the rice is fully done and almost all of the water is fully soaked up.(trying to avoid mixing or moving anything in the dish)
- Serve on the table still on the dish and add the lemon wedge/s, some additional chopped parsley and (only if you used Safflower) Safflower for garnish. Serve.
