RICE RICE PUDDING
There are many kinds of rice, staple for much of the planet.
The long grain of is primarily used for salads, pilaws, vegetables ..., And the round grain for other preparations.
Rice oil should not be washed, although many advice, and may take the form of rain on the boiling broth, and gently fry sauce at the end of all grains to be involved either with the oil, then add boiling liquid . The fat should be wrapped rice, and not to be missed or overrun. In the time that is cast, you have to distribute it in the pan, casserole or "paella" before it resumes a boil and do not touch or remove later. You must try this wine, when you reset the boil, it must be pretty happy , since rice is very bland, but absorbs much all flavors. A tasteless rice is not pleasant to drink, while if in point of flavor and baking a pleasure.
At first the fire must be alive for 10 minutes, then lower it and check that is brewing everywhere. Sometimes, if the "paella" is a large diameter or the fire is not large enough, it does not cook rice equally and the results are disastrous. To be successful in a home-made paella, there are some gas diffusers that fit our gas grills, or who work independently powered by a small gas cylinder of the kind of camping. Rice cooked with them across its surface.
The parboiled rice, husked not being entirely retains more vitamins and minerals than regular rice. Also not passed. In a good superfast cooking pot in just 2 minutes, as the current time, but adding both less water for each cup full of water, add the same cup of rice, but with a finger less.
If you are going to cook the rice in a normal pan must add, for each measure of rice, 2 ½ measures and anything short of water or broth, as desired. Cover the pan and cook about 15 or 17 minutes until rice is tender. If dry during cooking must Always add boiling liquid so that cooking does not stop, what influence the final result.
How much higher surface of the container where the rice is cooked, the greater the evaporation and less chance we have to be filling. Even if the rice is prepared under pressure, the larger diameter has the pot better. If a paella is made and the cooking time has elapsed, yet the rice seems harsh, splashing the surface with a few drops of broth, water never alone, that it would lose flavor cover it completely with a lid or foil and let stand for 10 minutes to soften finish.
If the cooking time has elapsed, has spent all broth and rice appears on your point to be near normal, cover the entire surface with a wet cloth and wrung out and standing out from heat for 5 minutes. The heat retaining container and rice absorb moisture from the cloth and the rice is finished done.
If you have stuck to the bottom, and Valencia is what they call "socarrat" EI container placed on a wet cloth, so that this temperature difference with this part "seized" can easily break off and served.
Among the ingredients of the Valencian paella never include onion, because they say it softens the rice. Only the rice with vegetables, fish and black rice can lead onion among its ingredients.
Saffron authentic should continue to be used to color the paella, is now replaced by the artificial coloring. But you should not use this color, but turmeric .
