Tomorrow the 19th edition of Semana del Arroz (Rice Week) will take place at Taberna del Alabardero, headed by Valencian rice master Juan Tamarit. For the next week you can find special rice menus in the restaurant paired with wines from the non-sherry branch of Bodegas González Byass, including Beronia Verdejo, Viñas del Vero Chardonnay and Beronia Reserva. From the 23th to 25th you can also attend seminars hosted by Juan Tamarit and learn the secrets of perfect paella making, held from 10.00 – 13.30 and 7.00 – 20.30. For more information, or to reserve your space, call Taberna del Alabardero at 954 50 27 21 or contact them by email rest.alabardero@esh.es.
Last Friday I was invited to attend a preview and rice tasting at the Taberna and, upon finding out this was the 19th edition (all of which have been run by Tamarit), my first question was WHY I hadn’t been invited to the previous 18! It was a delicious way to spend an afternoon, chatting with other foodie pals and sampling a wonderful variety of flavours. Chef Tamarit also put paid to the notion that the only true paella is the traditional Valencian version, telling me that if it’s made in a paellera it’s a paella, if it’s made in a pot it’s rice. Simple. And who am I to argue with a maestro arrocero?
Whether you are interested in learning how to make this iconic Spanish dish, or if you’d just like to sample some of the best, don’t miss your chance this week at Taberna del Alabardero.
