Calculation basis
Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.
Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured. Varying only the listed quantity assumptions gives 675–730 kcal per unit stated above. This is neither a measured range nor a statistical confidence interval.

Ingredients
- 320 g Spanish short grain rice
- 350 g pork ribs, cut into small pieces
- 120 g morcilla, in thick slices
- 200 g cooked chickpeas, drained
- 1 large potato (approx. 230 g)
- 1 whole garlic bulb, halved crosswise
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 800 ml hot, strong meat broth
- 1 tsp mild paprika powder
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and 1 pinch of saffron
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 210 °C top/bottom heat. Peel the potato and cut into 7 mm wide slices.
- Brown the ribs in a pan in olive oil for 8 minutes; Briefly fry the potato slices. Stir in the paprika powder for just a few seconds.
- Evenly distribute the rice, ribs, potatoes and chickpeas in a flat ovenproof dish. Place the morcilla and tomato slices on top and place the garlic in the middle.
- Mix hot broth with saffron and a little salt and pour in carefully. Bake on the middle shelf for about 30-35 minutes until the rice is cooked and the surface is slightly coloured.
- Remove the mold and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Before serving, check whether the rice is soft enough; Otherwise, add a little hot broth and continue cooking briefly.
Tips
- The mold should not be too deep so that the surface becomes dry and aromatic.
- Instead of a cazuela, a wide ceramic baking dish is suitable. Without morcilla, it becomes an explicitly simplified version.
