Carmencita Meat & Chorizo Paella Kit for 2 with Paella Pan

Description

Carmencita is a Spanish spice company based in Novelda, in the province of Alicante, not far from the rice country of Valencia. Its pack celebrates 100 years of history, and the brand is a fixture in Spanish kitchens, known above all for its saffron, paprika and seasonings. This kit brings that tradition to your table with everything you need to start making paella at home.

The Meat & Chorizo Paella Kit is made for two people and comes with its own paellera (paella pan), which is half the battle for anyone who does not own one. According to our supplier, the box contains the paella pan, dehydrated broth, oil and rice. It is a neat, practical set: open the box, follow the instructions on the pack and you are on your way to a real Spanish dinner, with a pan you can use again and again.

It also makes a good gift for anyone who loves to cook or entertain, since it comes ready to use and the pan will remain in the kitchen long after the rice is eaten.

How to cook. Follow the instructions in the kit. As a general rule for any paella: place the pan over an even heat source, brown the meat and chorizo, add the broth, then the rice, spread it evenly and cook without stirring. Rest it for a few minutes off the heat before serving. The goal is a thin, even layer of rice with a golden crust (socarrat) at the bottom.

Storage. Keep the unopened kit in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, store the unused contents sealed and away from moisture.

Pairing. A dry rosé, a Garnacha red or a cold Albariño. Start with olives and a tomato salad.
