Paella Marinera Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Paella is a popular rice dish that originated from the Valencia region of Spain. This is usually made of short grain yellow rice and cooked in a special wide-flat pan called “Paellera”. This paella marinera is one of the paella versions that I really like.

Paella Marinera is a type of seafood paella that showcases the richness of the ocean. This particular recipe involves different seafood, which I think is a very lovely combination.

Aside from the different seafood, this dish tasted perfect because of the type of rice and saffron used. Using seasoned yellow rice brings in a lot of good flavor, while the Spanish saffron (which is considered as one of the most expensive spices) improves the taste and aroma of the dish.

At a quick glance, the color of this dish seems unusual. It has more of a reddish color instead of the normal yellow. It is because of the tomato sauce. I never thought that having tomato sauce in seafood paella will produce great results.

I was only involved in filming when this dish is being cooked. All the instructions come from my uncle, who happens to be one of my mentors. Whenever I am with him, I instantly become a student – eagerly digesting all the information and techniques that he is sharing. The hands that you see in the video are my aunt’s and my wife’s. It’s like filming a dish for the grandest cooking class. It was such a wonderful experience.

    Hello, my lola used to cook this when i was a small girl back in Iloilo… she used regular rice colored with atsuete… i can´t remember her using saffron… but i do well remember the raisins and the hard boiled (sliced) eggs on top of it……

    Thanks for sharing the recipes :-)… You make everything look so easy… I mean, you make everything so simple that i can now actually cook “some” of the foods that i´ve been craving for… just “some” because it´s not that easy to find all the ingredients i need here in Germany…

    Mabuhay and more power to you !!!

    Hhi! Same Q as the above. Can I just use regular white rice if yellow rice is not available since saffron will definitely add color? I read some articles that it’s possible but I’m afraid that it might affect the taste. Please help!=(
