Tonight I am cooking...

[grego]

Saffron it's too strong and if you add saffron everything tastes the same (tastes to saffron) try "Pimentón" (red sweet pepper or something like that) next time]

I haven't actually seen that in England, I have in Spanish supermarkets. I shall get some when I am over. Thanks for the tip

these are just cayenne peppers.........or chillies as we call them.

I'm not sure grego, pimentón it's not hot and it's "polvo"

Edited: now I see it says paprika, but it's not hot, if you use it hot you disgrace the dish

Syl: yes I mean the black rice. Arroz Bomba? I will look out for it.If not a good risotto rice??

Waitrose stocks it 8) Ocado straight to your door

thought Pimiento was just a plain pepper or Capsicum?

I'm not sure whichs rissotto rice, but I'm sure it will work.

The black rice it's a receip itself, if you fancy it I'll give it to you cos, it's very easy to do. The black thing it's squid ink

The black rice one looks repulsive

I just googled "Chicken Paella" and printed out a recipe... who knows how it will turn out

 

[grego]

calm down you lot.

so sil lets clear this up..............the answer to what pimentón is lies in the difference between pimiento and pimentón

so sil, cual es la diferencía entre el pimiento y el pimentón??

Becki you won't like it cos it's fish rice and there's no option for meat in this one but it's yuuummy

Pimiento is the plant itself

and pimentón it's the spice you get from dried pimiento

What about Jambalaya, I prefer this to paella. Meaty and Spicy.

this is just paprika then, it doesn't necessarily mean its hot.

Use the no-hot one and you'll have a top paella.

 

[grego]

standard paprika is just a mild seasoning.

So Bec, was it a culinary triumph?
