This is largely due to my foodpickle question earlier last week. I tried to incorporate the aggregate knowledge of the community and internet at large. The basis is from Tyler Florence's Paella but I made some modifications. First off, I cooked this over a wood fire in a cast iron skillet, which i feel helped it taste more authentic. Secondly, I made a lot, I used a whole 2.5 lbs bag of rice. I originally started cooking with only 4 cups of rice but ended up using the whole bag, which i cooked seperately. Really wished I had known about the contest when I made this...I would have gotten a really pretty plated photo for you all. I'll also try and get my friends testimony on this.
