Paella Rice 500g bag

A 500g bag of authentic Spanish paella rice from Riseria Vignola — short-grain, rounded, pearly grains with the high absorption capacity that distinguishes proper paella rice from everyday long-grain. Without the right rice, you don’t have a paella. Cook in a wide pan; don’t stir once cooking starts; aim for the prized socarrat crust on the bottom.

How to cook paella rice

1. Sofrito base: heat olive oil in a wide flat paella pan; cook onions, garlic, peppers and tomatoes down to a paste.
2. Add the rice: stir into the sofrito for 1–2 minutes to coat.
3. Add liquid: pour over 3 parts hot fish/chicken stock to 1 part rice. Add saffron.
4. Simmer: 18–20 minutes uncovered. Don’t stir.
5. Add seafood: arrange across the top in the last 5 minutes.
6. Socarrat: let the last minute or two crisp the bottom — that’s the prized part.
7. Rest: 5 minutes off heat before serving.

Pair with a chilled Spanish rosé or Albariño.
