Parboiled Rice for Paella
From sofrito to socarrat, perfecting paella is no easy task — so we’re taking some of the guesswork off your plate: utilize these
cooking tips
while preparing our
Traditional Paella recipe
. Best of all, our Carolina® Medium Grain Authentic Paella Rice lays the essential groundwork for that mouthwatering traditional Spanish dish:
–
Rich Color:
The saffron isn’t the only reason the paella boasts that golden color— parboiled rice naturally has a yellow hue.
–
Complex Flavors:
This rice variety tastes slightly nutty and, best of all, the rounded grain absorbs tons of flavor. Saturated with all those spices, the rice develops a slightly chewy texture as it doubles or triples in size .
–
Versatile textures:
Having that chewy texture essentially means that this rice retains all the flavor without drying out, making it difficult to overcook. But you can toast it; in fact, since it holds so much flavor, paella rice produces the quintessential socarrat — the flavorful caramelized crispy rice.
Cooking Instructions
Use 2 cups of liquid for 1 cup of rice —
a ratio of 2:1
. Add rice — with any additional ingredients — after bringing your liquid of choice to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until all water is absorbed. We do not recommend cooking this product in the microwave.
