This is such a fabulous family dish. It can stay warm for up to 45 minutes after cooking. The paella becomes the center of the table and offers lots of conversation. This is also seriously simple to make, since it bakes in the oven and doesn’t require the traditional rotating of the pan on top of the stove for even heat.
Tips for Success
Use medium-grain rice, such as Spanish bomba rice or Italian Arborio rice. (The goal is for the rice to absorb the liquid and stay relatively firm.)Use saffron threads, not powder.
