BAG
Albufera rice (D.O. Valencia)
The pack also contains an airtight sachet of D.O. Valencia smoked rice of the Albufera variety. This is one of its distinctive features: the wood-fired note provided by smoking the rice over vine shoots, transporting the consumer to the purest and most desired moment of rice cooked A Fuego: the countryside, the firewood.
Instructions
Before you start cooking, bear in mind that this rice can be prepared on any stovetop. If you are using an induction hob, you must use a suitable pan with a diffuser base so the heat is distributed evenly. We recommend using a paella pan 38-42 cm in diameter.
- Gently shake both cans.
- Pour the contents of the 2 cans into a 38-42cm paella pan.
- Heat over gas/induction/ceramic hob, stirring gently until it begins to boil.
- Add the contents of the bag of wood-smoked rice (400g), shake the pan to even it out and cook over high heat for 3 min.
- Cook over low heat at a gentle simmer for approximately 14 min.
- Increase the heat for the last 2 minutes to achieve the socarrat.
- Leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
If you do not have a paella pan, you can cook it by following the advice in the “Other cooking options” section.
PREPARATION FOR TWO
A Fuego rice recipes are designed to be cooked for four people. But they can also be used for two people, on two occasions. The secret is simple: just divide the rice, broth and ingredients in half and add a little water.
Pairing: we recommend enjoying it with a sparkling wine or a well-chilled white wine. At Made in Spain Gourmet, naturally, we suggest a good white wine from Penedés, Verdejo, Alvariño, or why not a premium cava, a vermouth or a frizzante such as La Mundial.
