Grilled Seafood Paella

Hashtag Labs — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 13:24:25 +0000

Rice, redefined. Paella, the comforting Valencian rice dish of humble origins, is both the name of the recipe and the pan in which it’s prepared: a round, flat-bottomed pan to give the rice maximum surface contact. Traditionally, grilled seafood paella is cooked over an open fire, and there are still many shops in Spain that cook over wood. We like the smoky flavor it imparts to the seafood in our version as well. And we love any excuse to light a fire.

Guanciale and Egg Fried Rice

Chinese roast pork, Spam, Vienna sausages and even hot dog slices have made it into fried rice. Doesn’t it seem like guanciale is at least as good an option? Its salty fatty goodness is a perfectly luxurious foil to the comforting rice. This is not a dish to make often - it’ll kill you.

Make this pancetta and shrimp fried rice recipe tonight: This dish is a no-brainer for a quick weeknight meal. It can be made with leftover rice, frozen shrimp, and vegetables. If you have all three on hand, you really have no excuses. We prefer fragrant and delicate long-grain jasmine rice for fried rice, but short or medium-grain rice can be used instead. Don’t load down your fried rice with too many ingredients or it’ll end up soggy and heavy. Our technique of making a well in the rice and cooking the eggs in the pan with the rice is a bit unorthodox, but we find it works exceptionally well with a cast iron or nonstick pan. And it’s one less pan to clean later.
