Hand-picked and gathered in the fields of Spain, the vibrant red crocus flower stigmas (saffron threads) impart a luminous yellow color and deep honey hay flavor tones as it is cooked. This Valencia paella fuses this with smoky, earthy and herb flavors for a luxurious dish. The culinary spice kits contain pre-measured, individual packages of pure and natural spices, a pantry list for easy shopping, and simple to follow directions to make these beautiful international recipes in your own kitchen. The basic cooking technique - the culinary spice kit comes with detailed cooking instructions on the back, but here are the basics. Marinade the chicken or vegetables while you chop your onions, garlic, peppers and tomatoes. Brown the meat and vegetables, saute the onions, garlic and peppers, and add the rice and stock to partially cook on the stove top. Arrange your browned meats and seafood or browned vegetables on top of the rice and bake in the oven until done. A few steps to this one to be rewarded with a fantastic dish.
