Ingredient: Rice - Spanish Paella Rice (Calasparra Rice)
Category: Rice
Season: All
Calasparra Rice is a Spanish short-grain rice , grown in terraces of rich alluvial soil along the banks of the Segura and Mundo rivers in the province of Murcia, Spain.
These terraces have remained almost unchanged since the 12th century and are naturally irrigated by the rivers.
These pearlescent grains swell to a delicously plump figure on absorbing the rich fragant flavours of your stock.
It is similar to the "Italian Risotto Rice",the grains are not long and thin, but rounder and plumper.
It is used to make paella, though here the grains are not stirred, so they remain firm and distinct but with a moist, creamy edge. |
