José Andrés Recipes Worth Bookmarking

This Paella de Pollo con Verduras is enchanting. Featuring toasted smoked paprika, a jumble of tender vegetables, juicy bites of chicken, and crackly edges of rice (known as socarrat in Spain), it’s worthy of a summer bash. It comes from an absolute expert on the dish—and the guest editor of our summer magazine issue—José Andrés. Needing little introduction, Andrés is an acclaimed chef, humanitarian, and eight-time cookbook author, including The World Central Kitchen Cookbook, Zaytinya, and most recently Spain My Way. Epicurious is fortunate to have a collection of some of his recipe gems. There’s plenty to dive into, like “one of the best chickpea dishes” and an “exquisite” caramelized tomato salad—glowing reviews all around. Explore more of Andrés’s recipes below. Then watch him make paella for a crowd over a live fire in his backyard (!) right here.
