How-To: Make Paella Valenciana with Jamie Bissonnette 

Adding "valenciana" to the title is straight up trolling

To be called an authentic paella valenciana he missed nachos dusted all over, some flares and those little umbrellas stuck into it.

Cursing at whoever question your untraditional paella, then mocking on ppl who wants to cook paella using untraditional rice? Okay.

“Who cares man” you care jamie, you seem to care alot

"Let me make it my own culture". Don't call it "valenciana" then lmao

Lmao this dude literally scraped the bottom with a metal spoon

My new hobby is searching paella recepies and watch spaniards go wild in the comments

"I'm gonna make a non-traditional spaghetti carbonara, but instead of bacon/guanciale I'm gonna add seafood and instead of egg I'll add tomatoes, but because I'm still using Spaghetti it's totally spaghetti Carbonara you guys... "

So, in short, Jaime makes cajun jambalaya and then calls it paella valenciana

dude, where's the saffron?

note: Jamie Bissonnette was murdered shortly after this video was uploaded by a mob of angry Valencians.

>Paella Valenciana >Thumbnail has shellfish displayed Come on, this is some bad trolling.

he never said it´s a paella. he calls it a payeya xD

rice with things, not paella

Thats not Paella, thats arroz con cosas

I mean, he could call this dish "arròs caldós", another fantastic valencian rice dish (that accepts different variations), and nobody would be mad at him.

For those of you who want to actually see how a proper valencian paella is made, check Omar Allibhoy's vid on the Jamie Oliver's channel.

comments are hilarious already

Im from Valencia and this no is a paella, is rice with things jajaja.

I don't think he has many spanish friends cooking payeya like that. And you don't want to refer to Valencia as southern Spain.

Hey, I've just make myself a sandwich with cheese, or what I call "my version of paella", can I also make a video?

Ok, I'm from Valencia and I will love to tell you something. If you want to call that right there paella valenciana, then learn how it's made, so as you said in the video, technically that's "rice with things", so please, title the video as "How-To: Make Rice With Things With Jamie Bissonnette", because we have our traditions and we don't want people to change the meaning and the essens of it. Thanks.

" whenever I'm in Spain at friends vineyards. " oh yea, totally common place. No sweat.

The only Spanish ingrifient in that 'paella' is calasparra rice😂

People have strong feelings about this dish for some reason.

I'm sorry my father is from Valencia and this is not paella Valenciana. Not even close.

Love the onion chopping trick! I try to do it the proper way but I suck. Gonna try this!

For what it's worth I worked in Calasparra for three years and had paella, rabbit with rice, chicken with rice, vegetable and snails with rice etc etc many many times, but they were always cooked on an open fire with almond or olive wood and the smoke seems to make a real difference to the flavour. Now I live in Cadiz and they add fino sherry!

It's like calling this vid Fish Tacos but cooking them with pulled pork

No one: American Chefs: this is the authentic because I said so

Paella valenciana (eastern Spain), flamenco music in the background (from Andalucía, that's southern Spain). It's something like cooking gumbo with a banjo playing country music in the background.

Lol, he probably stole this idea from Jamie Oliver by putting chorizo

The amount of times he brings up how people get butt hurt about his paella, makes me think he is a bit butt hurt lol

YT fragility is helluva drug

This dude is extremely insecure lol

I agree that innovation is good but you should call it Paella Munchiana

authentic or not, looks pretty good

Hi There, I once made a spaghetti bolognese. Except it had no ground beef or tomato sauce. But hey it was a not-very-traditional version

People really hate hipsters these days lol

I come back to this video once a year to replay the 1st 15 seconds just to giggle.

ive never seen a comment section so triggered before

The audacity of doing a wet rice with chorizo and not only called it paella but appended it with a “valenciana”. You couldn’t make this one up

this is my 1st paella that ive ever ate which was like 5 yrs ago. i still think of it til this day. if you are ever in boston, go to toro and try this out.

I’ve watched this like 4 times. Still golden

Americans really butcher the pronunciation of paella.

0:37 thanks for the disclaimer, I will come this tab now.

Followed your recipe but changed all meats to chickpeas ans it tastes awesome. BTW I have also made the regular recipe and it is also amazingly good

Looks good! Paella has different kinds of varieties in every region in Spain, just like pizzas, hamburgers or ramen.;) so i dont get why people are so upset about it.

Pah-Ye-Yah?!? Who knew.

Is this a parody video?

Very inspiring thank you for sharing

Great, marvelous, very good, thank you !

where is the azafran? paella without azafran???

paieiea? haha

Awesome recipe

Looks yummy, never had paella

A hipster king

why does he say pie-yay-uh?

The biggest difference between US and European versions (incredibly, the best I ever had was a small cafe in Funchal on Madeira) is the amount of rice. Paella is - above all - a rice dish. Too many versions have so much meat, fish, veggies that the rice is simply an after thought. Also, a good paella requires some socarrat -the crust of the pan. I bought a grill depending on its ability to fit my huge paella fan!

Thats amazing crazy paella! Doing it now..

I'm just looking for the saffron

Why does he keep saying pie-yay-uh?

You should put that stuff in a burrito! They'll love that :D

Great advice.

>Paella with chorizo I'm dying here.

At these point i feel Spaniards are hunting for Paella videos to cry out loud

I really like this guy, feels like a friend is teaching me as he goes, but is a bit nervous to fuck it up (though it isnt the case here). Would love to see more of him!

I love your piaellia

*Adds chorizo, onion, peas, pepper, green onions* - If you don't have this kind of rice, do other thing, do not cook paella OK

Well, that video was exciting! I'm sure your paellas taste great. BUT the Spanish are going to say that yours is not authentic. I used to think the original "Paella Valenciana" had all the seafood, but apparently no. I went to Valencia and they say the original paella was with chicken, rice and beans. I listened to a Spanish video-in Spanish-about this, and the cook added chicken, onions tomatoes, and 2 types of Spanish beans, one of them being the type where you eat the pod itself. People in Valencia said that paella used to be cooked using HARE or rabbit. The other types of paella, with seafood, or black rice (tinted with octopus ink), came later.

This guy makes laugh so hard watching him cooking. The language is cool.

@MUNCHIES: what's the blue pan? cast iron?

"The onions cook in their fondue " _ i stab my self_

Yeah use that spoon to scrub your pan.

"If you don't have Bomba or Calasparra rice, don't make paella, make something else." Great fucking line, lol.

he is awesome thanks

This guy was really good at explaining as he cooked, loved the lesson!

I've stopped watching the video at the moment of adding chorizo to a "paella".

Paella is just the name of the pan used. Whatever you cook in it is always fine.

If I wanted to add beans to this... what kind would you recommend?

"gentrification joke" also i dont think Valencia is southern Spain but im no Atlas

It seems pretty good, although having the Spanish-sounding music in the background was not a great idea given how much it differed from the original. I make the traditional Spanish paella and this has several similarities and differences. Similarities: - Smoke paprika - Proper paella rice - Soccarat (fried starch at bottom of pan) - Temperature maintained to avoid boiling - Does not stir to keep starch in rice Differences: - Vegetables not typically included added to recipe - Greater variety of proteins (seafood, chicken and chorizo) - No saffron - Use of tomato paste - Did not brown vegetables and chicken to get flavour from maillard reaction It's quite different but generally respects the ideas behind the tradition. I think it's a pretty good blend of his own tastes and the original recipe. Totally different but why follow tradition if you don't want to?

No complaints here. This was an excellent video in my opinion! I looked at a lot of recipes because this will be my first time cooking this recipe, and I'm definitely going with this one. Just one question though. I notice all the recipes I've seen so far use Saffron, but yours didn't, and they say it's a key flavor ingredient. Any reason you didn't use this?

👍🙏 I agreed with you bro

this dude was sooo pissed that someone spanish corrected his way of making paella.. americans smh

please don´t let this guy do any more vids

"Let me thank my patrons: James Bissonette..."

“Let me mash it up and make it my own culture” - him and ancestors lol

I'm from Valencia and I've never seen a paella like that. He has never eaten a paella cooked in Valencia region. Maybe we can called that kind of "stew" Rice with lots of things boiled.

So if I ask for a nice juicy beef at a restaurant and a chicken wing (a delicious one) comes to my table, the chef should be like "FUCK OFF, I always make it like that!"

That Breville induction control freak thing is a must have!!

Looks awesome. I've barely made my own paella before, but I love to eat it. But I have to ask, what does the chicken add to this dish? There is so much meat in here, if you include the seafood, it seems a bit over the top.

If Matty Matison was civilized dude this guy is it.

Next week he cooks a sausage and calls it a pineapple.

"It's one of my favourite things to do" But I do whatever the fuck I want

I like you, thats the way i cook everyday, no measure and my food taste good everytime 👍

Whatever you'd like to call it , it's pretty damn tasty.

You sound angry. I hope that is working out for you.

I never knew munchies was a restaurant.

I was born in Valencia and I have eaten a lot of paellas... the only similar point is that "payeya" has rice as "paella". Maybe tastes good, but if you want to cook rice with chorizo never call it Valencian paella. You can said "American chorizo paella or rice with things".
