I cook all my meals I think I do a pretty good job of it.

Curry Paella
Perfected this during my span in Spain after watching (and helping with) Paella a couple times then incorporating my love of curry.
Start with meat and veggies, suggestions: Chicken, sausage, rabbit, lamb--2 is a good number. Cut it up to bite-sized and put on pan already heated with some oil. Let it cook for a bit, making sure to let all sides get equal time. During this process I like to cut up the veggies.
Suggested: Potatoes, onions, green & red peppers (actually, all of these should be considered mandatory).
Again, stir a bit and let cook for a while, then add enough milk to thoroughly immerse everything. Let heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to a boil.
Once boiling, add the curry seasoning and crushed red pepper (or something tantamount).
Stir until distributed evenly.
Then add ride.
The next part is easy but a little tricky. See, it's going to boil and let everything come together in perfect paella fashion (but you want to even it out). You also need to sample the rice to see if it's appropriate softness, otherwise you must add more milk.
Then the pan will do the work for you.
Voila!

[Warparty]

8 oz pineapple [or Orange Juice]
4 oz lemon or lime juice
4 oz Kraft Fat Free Italian dressing
1 lb Chicken Tenders [ or boneless, skinless breast meat]

Marinate meat for 30-60 minutes in the juice/dressing mix in a large zip-loc bag in the 'fridge [much longer and the acid in the juices will start breaking the meat fibers down and turn it soggy]. slap on the bbq grill [or a George Foreman grill works well to] till cooked but still juicey.

Can be served over a bed of greens as a salad or as the main course for dinner. Also bery good on torillia's with sharp chedder cheese as a snack.

*NOTE: throw marinade away, do not try and use again the chicken juice turns it bad in about 24 hours.

Might try that soon ^.

I don't often cook but I do sometimes I can bbq and make homemade macaroni and cheese and spaghetti and deep fry stuff. The best is deep fried chicken wings put in a bowl with bbq sauce and cover then you shake it and have homemade fries as well.

A dessert i have alot is homemade donuts or timbits. You buy the pilsbury do boy home rolls stuff and cut a hole in all of them and put it in the deep fryer untill they're golden brown. For icing you just Mix some flour, water and sugar.

I've wondered about making pallea at home. Isn't the shape of the pan important to the end product?

What other spices do you use? Saffron?

What other spices do you use? Saffron? To me, the difference between stew and pallea is the way you spice it.

Yes, you can find specialized Paella pans all over Spain, but it's moreover the sizes offered that makes them special (from huge to ginormous).

Honestly, I forgot the spices used for actual Paella but can find out relatively quickly.

By the way, Paella uses water (not milk, like my curry recipe calls for).

To add to the thread, here's a picture of a cake I made




Very little flour and no butter at all. It's basically melted chocolate held together by eggs.

That's the best kind of cooking. Unless I'm baking, I generally don't measure. Find some stuff in the fridge and make something delicious. That's real cooking.

I've wanted to try pallea at home, which would be a great use for the saffron I was given as a gift. Since I've never cooked with saffron before, I'm afraid of wasting them. Of course, letting them sit in my pantry and aging isn't doing them any good either.

What I really want to do is a nice slow cooked pork shoulder to make pulled pork sandwiches. I'd love to do this in a smoker to make real BBQ, but I don't have the equipment.

[JPizzle]

Calv, I'll PM you with the spices. Honestly, I think most Paella cooks don't use Saffron; it's mostly yellow food coloring, haha. The ones I tried were actually really bland (I guess because they were made for so many people that they couldn't make it too strong--kind of self seasoning). The best part about it is how tender it cooks the meat .
