Spanish Rental Recipes

So you have purchased a property in Spain and are now going to rent it out? Having done likewise my partner and I thought that as a nice idea we would leave a selection of recipes in our rental property for customers to prepare and enjoy.

Hopefully over time customers will leave their own copies of recipes so we will build a collection over time, so we both gain.

Do you have a recipe for Spanish food you would like to share? If so write and share it with us in our blog.

So to set you thinking here is a recipe for Spanish Paella

Spanish Paella Serves 4-6 people
Ingredients
600 grams rice (short grain)
Half a chicken in pieces
2 artichokes
2 medium-sized red peppers
2 mature tomatoes
Black pepper
Garlic
Parsley
A strand of saffron
Olive oil (one glass, about 1/4 litre)
1/2 lemon
A sprig each of rosemary and thyme
Salt

Steps:

1: Fry the chicken in some olive oil. Put the browned chicken pieces into a pan with 8 glasses of water, and bring to the boil. Leave simmering for half an hour.

2. Cut the artichokes and red pepper and fry them.

3: Fry the tomato and garlic in olive oil in the large paella (special paella pan), then add the rice, stir for a minute and then add the chicken, chicken stock (there should be 6 glasses), artichokes, red peppers, the juice of half a lemon, black pepper, parsley, thyme, rosemary, the saffrón strands (grind them first. If you haven't got a grinder, use Colorante which you'll find in the spice and herbs racks in supermarkets) and salt.

4: Once all the ingredients are in the paella pan, turn the heat up to maximum and boil for about 10 minutes. Then lower the heat and leave to simmer for another 10 minutes. After 20 minutes, the liquid should have evaporated. Turn off the heat, and leave to stand for five minutes. If possible cover while it is standing (many Spaniards use paper to cover the pan).


So enjoying cooking and eating your dish and enjoy a nice drop of Spanish wine with it!
