SUMMER is here so slow down and make the most of it. Adopt the Spanish pace of life and the Spanish diet with a delicious paella at Lunya.
The perfect paella takes time to prepare but it's well worth the wait. Allow 40 minutes or perhaps more at busier times and you'll be rewarded with a magical dish. Coloured with saffron, a traditional paella is culinary alchemy, the Bomba rice retaining all its starch and flavour to produce a dish of golden splendour.
And don't forget the soccorat – the crispy, bronzed remains at the bottom of the pan are a real delicacy in Spain. Once you try it, you'll understand why.
At Lunya, you're spoilt for choice with their Paella selection which starts at just £14.95 per person (minimum of two people sharing). From seafood paella, mixed paella which combines meat and seafood, and vegetable paella to the dark appeal of arroz negro, coloured by squid ink, at Lunya you can try them all – even a fideuá – a twist on the more-common rice-based paella which uses noodles instead.
While you're waiting for your paella, whichever one you choose, it's the perfect opportunity to relax with some of Lunya's tapas dishes which showcase all the delicacies of Spain and Catalonia. Washed down with a glass of sangria, what could be better?
If you really get the taste for paella, why not make your own? Use Lunya's know-how and you'll be able to recreate some of that Spanish magic at home. Click here to see Lunya's Paella recipe for yourself.
Don't worry about sourcing the ingredients; with Lunya's on-line shop, finding everything from Pimenton de la Vera smoked paprika to bomba rice is as easy as un, dos, tres.
Lunya is opening in Manchester in Autumn 2015 so they'll be bringing their paellas, patatas bravas and more to the Barton Arcade. Until then, the people of Manchester will have to make the most of their well-sourced Spanish produce at their online shop here.
