Bomba rice

[Elgin]

Saw loads of Paella rice in Carrefour Lorca yesterday

Thank you.

Yes, it's definitely in short supply at the moment. It reached silly prices before disappearing altogether.

For paella (and risotto) I find that Basmati works reasonably well, but you'll have to adjust the cooking time somewhat or it turns to mush.

Anybody any ideas where I can buy bomba rice? I've tried Mercadona, Lidl and local shops. I've heard there's a shortage because of a fungus??


I sometimes use fideo pasta in a paella but any other recommendations would be appreciated.

TIA
