Fabulous this time MM! Though I must say the first time you put out your arroz negra photos already had me in a frenetic quest for the perfect black paella recipe. MM, do coax mgr for her husbands quick but really flavorful black paella recipe. I tried it this evening for a pot-luck party and was amazed at the simplicity of preparation, but must-have ingredients: black ink sachets, pimenton, saffron, bomba rice, parsley and lots of green peppers produced such a heavenly aroma and flavor. mgr, i hope you wont mind– hey im cooking it again this sunday!

mgr, yup, the fish broth, freshly made came off the stove at a simmer before going into the paella… Thanks, everyone, I feel like I just passed my 12th grade exams…

Congratulations on your latest endeavor! Remember to add the fish broth “hot” so as not to stop the cooking of the rice for great texture. Looks great!

Zita, the guests loved it. Joey, you guessed it, post on fideua up already. Izang, you can buy a paellera at Spanish food stores, I think there is one on Jupiter in Makati and Terry’s in Podium basement sells them too. You can do a paella in an oven too.

It looks absolutely perfect and I’m sure it tasted amazing as well…especially with all the shellfish to go with it! The first time I ever ate this dish was in Barcelona and I remember them giving me a little dish of alioli to go with it…I have never looked back since :) Perfect combination!

Oh please please say that your Spanish dish with noodles is fideua!
