  2. What is Paella? • Paella consists of endless combinations of various meats, fish, shellfish, rice and vegetables. • It is considered by some to be one of Spain's "national" dishes.

  3. How did Paella come about? • The poor people of Valencia invented the original Paella. • Originally, Paella consisted of home grown vegetables, cuts of rabbit and short grain rice. • Traditionally it was eaten directly from the round pan with everyone sitting in chairs around it calling it “Round Table”.

  4. Why the name Paella? • The name of the dish, Paella, was named because of the pan it was cooked in, traditionally called Paella or Paellera.

  5. How is it prepared? • The base flavor is provided by a saute of aromatics called a sofrito: -Sauteuntil the vegetables soften, the flavors meld and the resulting mix is thick enough to hold its shape. The mixture will darken and turn into a thick puree. • Rice is cooked with either a chicken or shellfish stock. • Saffron gives the main color and flavor to the Paelle dish.
