Best? Dunno about a specific best, but normally the medium grain rices
are used for paella.

Thanks for the respone. I have a number of recipes that say "use paella
rice" or just "rice".

I will give the medium grain a go.

Thanks,

At least it is easier to find in most supermarkets anyway... good luck :)

Hi,

As Michael has said "calasparra", which is apparently a Spanish SHORT
grain rice. Go figure!

I love Antony Worrall Thompson's recipes, because they're generally
idiot-proof and tasty, and I never trust a skinny cook. :)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/paella_74784.shtml

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/paella_7100.shtml

I also saw this program - I think on lifestyle food - about the
science of food and cooking. This particular episode was about rice,
and it had a demo of how to cook a paella (don't stir the rice!).

If you're in Sydney, you could probably get calasparra rice at one of
the Spanish delis in Liverpool St in the city, or one of the
Portuguese shops in Petersham.

(You wouldn't get THIS information on Google, would ya????)

Unfortunately have just moved from Sydney to Adelaide.
Will have to scope out a local supplier down here!
