Paella

Paella is a traditional Spanish dish originating from the Valencia region, combining rice with various ingredients such as seafood, chicken, rabbit, and vegetables. It is cooked in a wide, shallow pan called a paella pan, which helps develop a flavorful crust called "socarrat." The dish is seasoned with saffron and other spices, giving it a distinctive color and aroma. Paella is often prepared outdoors and enjoyed as a communal meal, celebrated for its rich flavors, vibrant presentation, and cultural significance in Spain.
