Spanish paella with fresh seafood, vegetables, and saffron

Paella

Paella is a famous Spanish dish that originates from the Valencia region and has become one of the most well-known dishes in the world. The history of the dish dates back to the time of al-Andalus, when the Moors introduced rice cultivation to Spanish lands. The rice in traditional paella is made truly unique by a special blend of spices and a pinch of saffron.

One of the best-known versions of paella is Valencian paella, which is made with seafood, chicken, and rabbit, and almost every family has their own secret recipe. The dish has greatly contributed to the international recognition of Spanish cuisine and is a true community meal, often enjoyed at family or friend gatherings.
