​@@ChefJamesMakinson The objection is to the use of "even" with worst. If you look at the examples, none of them use "even." That is because "worst" is the absolute highest level and there can't be one that is more. Since you don't already have a video about "the worst" paella, the correct phrasing is "the worst," not "even worst." We're pointing this out because we care. We think you are a positive model for YT food commentary -- positive and objective without being offensive. Keep up the good work.

@@vespasiancloscan7077 most are seasoned in the kitchens. I really don't like carbon steel paellas they rust too easily and can be dented too easily as well. Stainless paellas are much more ergonomic. the big downside with stainless is that it's heavier. If you were to buy a large paella, like a 70cm or 90cm then I would suggest buying the classic carbon steel one as it's not something that you are going to use every day and they may be cheaper as well.

It is allways intersting how they taste their own dish and say "MMmmm that is perfect." Well, I can cook also for myself. I take some rice, ham, potatoes and ketchup and call it a dinner and say "Mmmm 3 Stars Gourmetfood.", while someone else would say "How can you even eat that vile, smelly, overcooked, undercooked, raw, burned thing. I don't even know how you did that? That is raw and that is overcooked." So a taste test for me is if I give someone else but me a taste of it. I just do some tasting inbetween you check if it needs more spices.

Cook the stew and about 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the rest of potatoes. You will end up with both of the worlds ("overcooked" potatoes will add flavour and firmness - i lack a better word for that - to the stew and the actual potatoes will still be in the stew).

I know people who will only buy "Walla Walla Sweet" onions, and will turn their noses up at local "sweet" onions. The local sweet onions are genetically identical to the Walla Walla Sweet variety.

You can absolutely go to any decently sized supermarket in Spain and find morcilla (or butifarra negra, if you're in Catalonia). It won't be particularly good (the ones you can find at a butcher shop are significantly better...and costlier), but it's a very common product. It's actually a staple of Spanish cuisine and can be found in many stews. That being said, using it in a paella is pretty unheard of.

Where is Level 4? A REAL Paella? I just want to point out that we DO have more rice dishes and variants, here in Spain, that are served in restaurants (which we call an arroceria). Some of the combinations in those restauarants can be a wide variety (especially using mushrooms or iberico pork), but of course we don't refer to them as a Paella. I think that is where some of the confusion has come from over time in other countries, about the contents of the 'traditional' paella. The only comment I slightly disagree with (and to be clear, I don't usually disagree with James 😉) was that the traditional ingredients used were because 'seafood was harder to get' and 'meant to be a poor man's dish' - Not entirely correct. Seafood back in those days was extremely abundant, especially in the Valencia and Gandia regions. But Paella was originally a rice farm labourers' food, which was cooked over a wood fire to make a lunchtime meal. Because of this, they originally used ingredients that were easy to source near the rice fields (tomatoes, onions, and yes even snails). The 'Paella Valenciana' then evolved from that over time, adding the likes of rabbit, beans and saffron, for that extra special colour and flavour. The 'poor man's' version of this would more aptly be 'Arroz a banda' which was traditionally made in the same area by using very humble ingredients, including fish stock from the leftover fish bones. Other than that sir....great video!! Keep those views rolling in!

Sorry, Mr gatekeeper, but you don't get to dictate what other people cook or what name they use to refer to what they cook. That isn't how food works and it isn't how language works. And I would have absolutely no problem taking a dish from a Muslim culture, adding pork to it or substituting pork instead of lamb or beef, yet still referring to it by the same name.

A useful video! The commentary is useful as well. To my surprise, the "level 1" contestant (Onika?) did quite well, even if she deviated from the traditional recipe. I sense Cajun/creole influence in her interpretation, such as the use of cayenne pepper and seafood. This seems legit to me, because Spanish cooks seem to have gone in that direction as well, as in Paella de Mariscos. The commentator here pointed out that you should finely slice the squid, because this dish requires a significant amount of time on the heat.

My mother in law uses it in her version (but raw, not cured). Her husband (the actual spaniard) was raised on a pig farm where they produced it and his mother (where the recipe comes from) added it everywhere. People will harp on about tradition, but the reality is, you don't have set kinds of meats in most poor man's recipes. You use what you have on hand. Like the sea food debate. You better believe that if a dude caught a couple mussels along his fish in the catch of the day, he would have thrown them in.

Great video! I'm no expert on paella, but I I do my own version of paella and have been complimented by people who've been to Spain or who are Spanish themselves. I stick to the traditional flavours, but with my own methods and some minor adjustments. No chorizo or sausage obviously, but adjustments based on ingredients that I can find anytime and anywhere, as opposed to them needing to be seasonal or having to go to a specialty store. For example Fava beans are not an option here unless they’re in season, so I end up using peeled Edamame beans (cause that's what they always have at my local grocers). I’ve also grown my own red peppers and I’ve cold smoked them over oak and dehydrated them to have my own pimenton. I can never find Bomba rice, so I use Arborio. As for the saffron I always soak it in the stock that I have put to the side before incorporating it into the dish so as to maximize the flavour and colour it brings. The saffron I usually get is from Greece as well, as I have hookups for it there, and I lightly toast it before using it in any Spanish recipes. Same with my EVOO, it’s always from Greece as I know people who can hook it up here. I don’t have a paella pan, but what I do use is a roasting pan that I can start on the stovetop and then continue cooking covered in the oven, and then I finish it off again either on the very bottom of the oven or stovetop to get at least some of the rice to crisp up on the bottom.

I generally have everything prepped and out on the counter in separate bowls before I ever start cooking. It's nice to be able to do the prep, clean up a bit, and have clean counters to work with. To REALLY understand how handy this can be, borrow or rent a small RV and attempt to prepare a full dinner for 4 in a kitchen 5 feet long with a stove that will almost hold 2 saucepans and a skillet...and you have a CHOICE between a sink or a counter, since most of your counter space is the butcherblock sink cover/cutting board/ counter area. To make matters worse, what little non-sink counter space you do have is on hinges, and needs to be cleared and lowered to get at the main door for the RV. I no longer live in an RV, but old habits die hard. I'm quite happy to now be able to roll out a pie crust without needing to flour the dining table...

Extra virgin olive oil has always been around 4€ to 8€ a liter in France. It's quite expensive and considering I use so much I'm glad I stocked up on my way back from Tunisia.

"If it's got that slightly burnt smell...it's burnt!" Harsh...but true (except for BBQ...generally...because it burns elsewhere) This was a harsh one...but fair. I'm not a chef, and CERTAINLY not a traditionalist when it comes to cooking, but honestly, I'd take the level 1 chef over the pro on this one. I stray from the box all the time, but try to keep the essence of a traditional dish there, but there are always limitations on home cooks for availability and dietary needs. Chorizo is awesome, on its own. It loses everything in a dish like this. Just make it an appetizer - pixto, tapas, charcuterie...lots of uses to display it properly!

Here in spain a common basic dish is pasta con chorizo, basically a tomato, onion sauce and then you add in chunked chorizo, my family likes to use the really hard stuff so the chorizo maintains it’s rigidity

@@amycupcake6832 is Spanish chorizo the hard one, the one you can grill on a bbq and eat like a hot dog on a bun? I love those but can never find them where I live in California. 😒

@@ChezJ1 Spanish chorizo is cured but here we can also buy it raw, we have multiple types in Spain but the normal one that you probably find this just cured one.
