Jamie Bissonnette serves Paella Valenciana on THE Dish

This week's job used some really interesting products ... look for them...... they will change your recipes for the better    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jamie-bissonnette-serves-paella-on-the-dish/

the pretty blue bottle is actually olive oil used on the salad  an arbequena varietal extra virgin olive oil ... you will find it has a smoke flavor

 
 
this salad also has white anchovies ( milder in taste ) and Marcona almonds from Spain



 
 
the Paella Valenciana was made with a good Spanish chorizo  ... there are many kinds.... so read the labels .....there are several to choose from and some are picante ( spicy) and some are milder...... so choose the one best suited for you  ......also some recipes call for fresh, you will find this at a good butcher
 
just because it is yummy..... Flatiron Steak with Romesco  this recipe used the almonds as well .......
