Wood-fired Black Rice Pack (2/3 servings)

Why is our preparation for Wood-Fired Black Rice different?

At El Paeller , Black Rice is much more than a recipe; it's an explosion of marine flavors. What makes our pack unique is its 100% natural seafood broth, cooked over a wood fire . We use mantis shrimp, small fish, crab, and prawn heads, combined with squid ink, which gives it its characteristic color and unmistakable flavor.

The preparation is truly artisanal, following Rafa Margós 's method. The wood fire not only cooks the dish but also infuses an extraordinary aroma that enhances the traditional salmorreta sauce and the select pieces of squid and baby squid . A slow and deliberate process that captures the essence of the finest seafood, so all you have to do is add the finishing touches at home.

Suggestions for enjoyment: A seafood feast at home

Prepare professional-quality black rice, with the perfect level of creaminess and flavor, in just 18 minutes :

• The Signature Grain: This pack includes Albufera variety rice with Protected Designation of Origin, specifically selected for its ability to absorb the black broth without losing its structure, guaranteeing a loose and tasty grain.
• The Perfect Partner: Black Rice reaches its peak when served with a dollop of homemade aioli on the side. The contrast between the creaminess of the garlic and the depth of the squid ink is simply sublime.
• Heat Control: Pour the stock and squid pieces into your paella pan (32-34 cm recommended). Once it comes to a boil, add the rice evenly. The last few minutes are key to allowing the Mediterranean flavors to meld.

The story behind El Paeller: Rafa Margós

Each can embodies the mastery of Rafa Margós , a chef whose life has been intertwined with the wood fire for 30 years in Las Bairetas . As an advisor to renowned figures like José Andrés and Quique Dacosta , Rafa has poured his technical expertise into a unique manufacturing process that interrupts the broth's cooking at the precise moment.

Thanks to its giant rectangular paella pan of its own design, El Paeller ensures that the aroma of the wood and the intensity of the fresh seafood remain intact, allowing traditional Valencian haute cuisine to reach your table directly with all its freshness and nutritional value.
