paella

Paella is a traditional Spanish dish that originated in the Valencia region.

It’s a flavourful and aromatic one-pan rice dish cooked with a variety of ingredients, often including saffron, giving the dish its distinctive yellow colour. The name “paella” refers to the wide, shallow pan used to cook the dish and the seasonings depend on the region and ingredients that are used.
