Did you have this in a gaiwan with a little piece of the peel? I’ve only had some with no peel and it it wasn’t burnt tasting but light and delicate with a citrus scent.

I used a stainless steel strainer AKA brewing basket. I had a bit of the peel, yes. Oddly – I kind of like the semi-burnt rice flavor…that might be weird…lol…

Not at all. In Puerto Rico the rice that sticks to the bottom of the pot is called “pegao” and is crispy and tasty and a favorite. It’s usually toasty brown and sometimes almost…but never…burned. One of the things I learned to make when I lived there.

Meeeehhhh. I’m from Puerto Rico. Pegao and burnt are miles apart lol. But I’m glad you know about that Bonnie! I miss that. I think it was because of the ‘caldero’ used to make the rice is hard to make it so it doesn’t stick, after hundred of years I guess people went “Rice cracker!”. LOL

Neat!!!!

I like the semi-burnt rice flavor too! My mom’s parents were from Spain, and my grandma’s paella always had sticky-crunchy rice at the bottom of the pot. I loved that stuff.

Love Paella. We have too much of our food thanks to the Spanish influence so it might be part of it. Now I’m hungry again :P

OKAY…now I’m on the hunt for a solid Vegan Paella Recipe :)

Sound nice! I would add some mushrooms to have something else going on. The food network one with zucchini… I’m not sure maybe it will work but I wouldn’t make it myself. Good Luck and Enjoy!

TeaEqualsBliss: I have an awesome vegan paella recipe around here too, I’ll dig it out & send it to you.

I’ve been wanting to try these tangerines filled with puer! I saw them on ebay, & they look interesting!

Terri – that would be awesome if you could send me the recipe!!! Thanks!

T=B – I dug around & found several, & I posted one (that I know was a favorite) over in the Discussions area on the recipe page. I’m thinking there may be another one that’s even better, & if I find it, I’ll post it too. Meanwhile, I also posted an awesome Tabbouleh recipe that I love. It’s pretty different from your usual version. Enjoy!
