    As a Spaniard I think this paella recipe is just amazing. It's better done than a lot ones over here. I'm really surprised you even mentioned the "socarrat", a very nice detail that shows how much care and love you put in your work. Adiós, amigo!!

    As a Valencian and a vegan, I am surprised for the knowledge and care you took to make this paella. Congratulations! Chicken and rabbit paella aka traditional valencian paella was my favourite one and I have tried to recreated. Rosemary, saffron and artichoke are the key ingredients. This is how I make it for 4 people:
    250 g of your favourite "fake meat" (seitan, soy meat, mushrooms meat) "Chicken"
    250 g of another type of "fake meat" [your mushrooms are perfect] "Rabbit"
    125 g of garrofó (white big beans)
    125 g of bajoqueta (the green beans)
    2 artichokes
    1 tomato
    (Red pepper can be added, however it's more typical in Alacant)
    Valencian rice (called Bomba rice or Albufera rice)
    1 tbs of paprika
    Saffron
    Rosemary (this step is very important since it should be infused with the broth, usually it's put when we add the water and remove before adding the rice, if you don't have fresh branches you can infuse the water with tea bags)
    Salt - if you can't make it with fire, one secreat it's to put a little bit of smoked salt ;)
    Valencians messure rice 3 ways 1) Expresso glass per person 2) 80 g per person or 3) 100g per person (if the pan is big). Always double water than rice. The shape and diameter of the paellla pan is very important: 40 cm for 2 - 3 people; 55 cm for 4 - 5; 65 cm for 6 - 7; etc. The layer must be thin (so you can get that socarrat "tosted bottom" lol) however I know the nightmare of making a paella abroad and how difficult it is to get the ingredients and tools, so... we do what we can...
    Your paella was amazing but it ressembels more to the Vegetable Paella / Paella de Verduras (which is also a traditional paella that you can order in most paella restaurants in the Valencian Country and are made with ñoras/nyora). If you come back to Valencia City you have to go to Restaurante Vegano Tierra Madre where they make valencian vegan rices.
    I hope this helped to spread some valencian rice knowledge ;)

    I'm from Spain (Alicante) and since I went vegan my grandfather always cooks the "vegetarian paella" as he calls it and it's the best. He firsts makes a savory broth which gives it extra flavor (one of the most important ingredients is "ñora" (no translation found, it's like a dark and small dried pepper that has a deep flavour). The veggies that are generally used (not all of them at once) are cauliflower, green beans, red pepper always cut lenghtwise, artichokes and green onions. Sometimes we also add parsley and chickpeas.
    The world of paella is beautiful :")

Mix crushed saffron with 1 1/2 tablespoon hot water then add 2 cubes of ice let sit for couple of minutes and you are good to go. it sounds a bit wired but trust me this is the way we are doing it for generations! love your content , sending u lots of love from iran 💜

That being said, saffron's an introvert, so any loud ingredient is a detriment to the dish (i.e. no chorizo please, vegan or otherwise, just cook some Gumbo)

      @@gazoakleychef CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM (since you said you were always trynna improve your paellas 😜):
      - You chopped the peppers and courgette way too big, the green beans are usually the biggest ingredient. A common size for vegetables in paella is 2-3cm. Same would go for the mushrooms
      - You added the lemon during the cooking time, which I had never seen. In Spain only some people add lemon, ans those who do do it at the end on their own plate, kinda what happens with the garnish lime on tacos.
      -You used paprika 😭
      WHAT YOU DID BRILLIANTLY:
      -Toasting the saffron and putting it in water
      - The chosen vegetables
      -Not stirring but giving it a shake from time to time

      - The perfect balance of rice, vegetables and broth
      - The Laughs in Spanish meme

    I am Valencian and I must say this is quite a legit interpretation of the dish. You also have paid respect to the tradition by learning all the information you shared. Valencian people have two main traditions: eating paella with the family on Sundays and getting mad if someone adds a weird ingredient like chorizo.
    I would like to share some tips: try it with big red pepper, cutting it in long slices. Also, when you add the rice, cover it with pimentón/paprika powder and homemade tomato puree, mix it, and fry it. When the water of the tomato is gone add vegetable broth instead of water. You should add the broth only once and never shake the paella as the aim is to create a tiny solidified layer of broth that covers all the paella. Then have it high heat 10 minutes, medium 5 minutes and low 5 minutes.

    Vegan Spaniard here, very impressive man! You should've made a traditional sofrito, which is vegan, and pan-fry the rice in it until translucent, before adding the veg and liquids. Also, your dad's meatballs recipe to replace the traditional albondigas would be dope! Peace :)

    As a Valencian I can say that this recipe is absolutely incredible! Not only you did a fantastic job recreating the dish, with nearly all the traditional ingredients (azafrán, garrofons -butter beans-, valencian rice...), but your explanations were perfect and right on point! I mean, you even talked about the socarrat, that’s so cool! Thank you so much for your hard work and for bringing this amazing dish to thousands of people so they can enjoy it too. You are always welcome to Valencia to try it here, we are lucky to have lots of vegan versions of paella now, so just ask us when you come! Love from Valencia 😘

      Marcin Kępski He has adressed in a previous video that he liked the texture of meat (and there are many other vegans/vegetarians who did too). I am vegan myself and I liked the texture and sometimes taste of meat and fish, but I did not want to eat it anymore. Thus, vegan meat is a perfect alternative.

    Hi, Gaz!
    I've been following you for quite a while now. I'm not that kind of person who comments much on videos, but this time I had to. I'm a Spaniard and, even though your earlier Spanish cuisine's vegan recipes were respectful and amazing, this one is the icing in the cake. It's clear that you do put so much passion into 'veganising' traditional and international food and I cannot thank you enough for that.
    I'm not vegan, but I'm slowly on the way to becoming one. Next time I can, I'll cook your paella version to my parents and I'm sure they'll absolutely love it.
    Keep on with the content! I hope to go to your restaurant some time soon 🥰

    Puerto Ricans usually call the crispy bottom of rice “pegao”, but most of my Dominican friends call it “concón”. Another huge rivalry amongst people from PR and DR is “quenepa” vs “limoncillo” lol I always love learning how other countries reference certain foods. Hats off to Gaz once again for paying homage to an iconic dish while still making it his own. I think it’s incredibly admirable the way that you respect and research the culture of the dishes that you create. I hope to make this one day. Greetings from a Nuyorican (Puerto Rican New Yorker)🌴🌆

    That looks VERY accurate (minus the meat, of course). However, there are a couple of "minor adjustments". The paellera (the pan) that you used should serve 2-3 people. This is because the layer of rice should be very thin (as in less than 1cm) once cooked. The rice/veg should be stirred ONCE, but only when you add the rice (if you leave the mushrooms at the bottom, there will be less socarrat). Lastly, (this is down to personal preference) no lemon... In Spain, if there is any lemon at all, it's served just cut, not squeezed, for each person to decide if they want it or not.
    But again, it looks amazingly good. I got hungry, and I had lunch like 1/2h ago! :P
    Oh, and one more thing!
    When I did my research on paella (some years ago), I found out the original paella had two versions... not seafood and meat, but meat (chicken, rabbit and snails), and veggie (for people who could not afford meat). So... like a good friend of mine said: "I prefer the poorman's paella" ;)

    When I was 13, I was in a play called Odd Couple (Female Version) in summer camp, where I played Jesus Costazuela, the "hot Spanish upstairs neighbor". My line was "no problem, we can have chicken paella upstairs in 10 minutes". I'm not Spanish and never heard of that so I kept pronouncing it "pay-ella" (as in "hey fella") over and over. Finally one of the actresses got fed up and said "it's 'pie-aya'! Not 'pay-ella' you idiot!!" I was so embarrassed. That's how I learned that word. Now every time I hear it all I can think of is my shameful teenage experience.
