The Giant Paella: Borough Market, London - admin - 06-02-2008
Valencian chefs will be back in London to cook a giant paella at the Taste of Spain Festival in Borough Market (Green Market area) next Thursday, 5th June, following the huge success of a similar event at last year’s festival when more than 1000 hungry visitors enjoyed a delicious plate of the traditional rice dish.
The giant paella will be cooked in a pan of nearly three metres in diameter, over a wood fire. More than 60 kilos of rice, 75 kilos of chicken, 50 kilos of vegetables and 150 litres of water will be used to cook this typical Valencian dish. Preparations will start from 4pm for those who want to watch and learn how it’s done and the dish will be ready and free for all from 6pm – just be sure to get there early to beat the queues.
Visitors to the market will also be able to enjoy food and drink from different regions of Spain, including typical products from the Valencia Region, such as wines and sausages from Requena, horchata (tiger nut milk), or the delicious Christmas nougat, turron.
