How We Prepare Authentic Paella at El Buen Gusto
Authentic paella is not a fast dish, and that is exactly why it stands out.
At El Buen Gusto, every paella is cooked fresh when you order. This process typically takes between 25 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavours to develop naturally and ensuring the rice achieves the perfect texture.
We follow traditional Spanish cooking methods that focus on:
- Building flavour slowly through stock and seasoning
- Cooking rice evenly to create the perfect balance of softness and structure
- Allowing the base of the pan to develop depth and character
This approach ensures that every paella we serve reflects the same principles found in Spain’s most respected kitchens.
