EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Traditional paella is a Spanish dish loaded with seafood, vegetables, rice and saffron seasoning. In some regions, it's cooked outside in a large flat pan, also called a paella.

Save time cutting broccoli! Look for the packages of broccoli flowerets available in the produce section of your grocery store.

A traditional paella flavoring (and expensive spice), saffron is the hand-picked stigma from a tiny purple crocus flower. It takes more than 14,000 of these little threads to produce one ounce of saffron!

Turmeric does the trick as a saffron substitute because it's moderately priced and generally available in most supermarkets. Both spices are pungent, aromatic and used to add flavor and color to foods.

The recipe as is gives you a good start, a really good START. I felt that the flavoring was lacking. So, I added some of my spice rack staples like cilantro, cayenne pepper, paprika, etc. Also, garlic was nice touch. I plan to make this again!
