Paella, not sure what topic this is in, but the dish seems like a rice casserole of sorts. In any case, my son, the professional cook made it for us tonight, in my cast iron dutch oven. It was yummy. This is what he used to make it, and as I wasn't there to watch, I can't give amounts.
Shrimp
Calamari rings
squid tenticles
muscles
bratwurst
Arborio rice
safron
onion
chicken broth
salt & pepper
I'm telling you, this stuff was good! But really, this was peasant food for folks who lived near the sea, where seafood was plentiful. I see huge paella pans sold for rediculous prices on many online sites. My son made it in a $30 Lodge camping, cast iron dutch oven, and it came out great.
I'm with the person who posted that they would like to see TV chefs make real food, with techniques and recipes, in the types of pots and pans we use at home.
When you have the best tools, and the best food, it's easy to make great meals. When you're trying to make a great french omelet in an 8 inch cast iron frying pan, with vertical sides, it's just not as easy, but can be done with a bit of ingenuity.
But that's enough of that. I am officially a paella lover.
