procedure
  • In a Paella pan, saute the diced cuttlefish in blended oil over high heat.
  • Add Sofrito and Picada. Season lightly with kosher salt.
  • Add boiling lobster stock, bring to boil and add rice. Season lightly with kosher salt.
  • Stir to distribute evenly then cook for 5 minutes on high heat, do not stir rice a lot. Allow the rice to cook & the starch to start developing at the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook an additional 5 minutes on low heat and then 5 minutes in the oven.
  • Liquid should be fully absorbed by the rice & the rice tender. If not, return to oven to cook longer.
  • Place the pan on the Plancha, drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and cook for 1-2 minutes to make the socarrat.
  • Once the Paella is on the plancha, steam the mussels and clams in white wine in a covered pot, until they open
  • Season & sear the squid, monkfish and shrimp on the plancha and place on top of the Paella.
  • Garnish Paella salsa verde on top.
  • Serve with a spoon and wrapped lemon.

critical control points
  • It is very important that the stock be very hot before adding to the Paella.
  • Make sure to sauté sepia, picada, and sofrito before adding stock.
  • Make sure you bring stock to a full boil before adding rice.
  • After the first 5 minutes don't shake the pan or move it anymore, doing so would discourage the development of a nice socarrat, the signature of a great paella.
  • Proper socarrat takes time over medium heat to develop-- socarrat forced at high heat, quickly is just burnt paella.
