I appreciate you cooking 'in the wild' and not just your restaurant kitchen. Hope you enjoyed the family vacation.

As a chef myself I have to say - you really know how to cook, man. In my eyes you guys are on par with Marco in his prime) And he was always my top favorite chef.

Spaniard here, just chipping in: if it´s made in a shallow pan, has rice, meat and/or seafood, AND doesn´t contain "choritso" [sic], it IS a paella, and this one looks absolutely delicious!
If you´re curious about the classic Valencian recipes, please read on:

 Paella Valenciana : chicken, rabbit, batxoqueta (green beans), garrofò ( broad, white lima beans), tomato, saffron and NO stock, just plain water. The stock is made by browning and stewing the meats and veg in an initial sofrito , adding water and simmering down before adding the rice. Cook over a wood fire for a subtle smokiness (and maximum Valencian cred).

Paella de Marisc : seafood / shellfish + rice cooked in a rich seafood stock or fumet .

Arròs : all other rice dishes, of which there are many. Special mentions: Arròs a Banda (prawns + cuttlefish), Arròs Negre (squid + squid ink, resulting in pitch-black rice).

My all-time favourite: Arròs al Forn (oven-baked rice): chickpeas, crispy fried potato slices, whole-roasted garlic, pork ribs, sausage, pancetta, tomatoes, saffron and olive oil, cooked in a clay casserole in the oven, in a collagen-rich stock made from boiling the pork ribs. This one merits content of its own, or even a trip to Valencia. What a banger!!!

Arròs al Forn sounds amazing, going to have to look at some recipes and give that one a try.

This comment was a banger too.

Spaniard here. He's right. That's all.

Btw, I think Arrós Negre is better next day and with Alioli at the side.

Thanks :)

Completely agree, nothing like leftover rice and homemade allioli!

Tiene una pinta alucinante!!! pero sólo una cosa, el arroz bomba se cocina en 18 minutos más o menos. Si le das tiempo de reposo después de esa cocción el grano se abre, en España llamamos a esto arroz "ESCLAFAT"... no es bueno para una buena paella. El grano tendría que estar entero y un poco al dente. Luego están los gustos personales, allí no entro. Eres muy bueno como chef, saludos!!!

The really crazy thing is that I do believe you're able to do this in an hour and a half. This would take me legitimately an entire day!
