Valencian Paella

Paella Masterclass Sydney11 Jan, 2022Event/Party Planner

The Paella is, above all, a social act in which family or friends meet, usually on Sundays, around a fire. Thus, if a suitable place is available, outdoors, with space for firewood and fireplace (paellero), this social act takes on a celebration character.If it is cooked in ?paellero?, in addition to the paella, we will need a tr?bede (tripod to support the paella), which we will place carefully balanced by its three legs to avoid tilting the paella to one side as pouring water would be a problem. Any type of wood would be valid, but there is a widespread belief among Valencians that the orange tree firewood is the most suitable because it gives a slight aroma to the dish that results in a more authentic touch. The critical moment in the preparation of the Paella is undoubtedly the end of the cooking of the broth.
