What traditional Valencian rice dish is often prepared with seafood, saffron, and vegetables?
Show answer
Paella
Authentic Paella is traditionally cooked over an open fire in a wide, shallow pan to maximize the amount of 'socarrat,' the delicious crunchy crust of toasted rice at the bottom. The dish is named after the pan itself, which comes from the Old French word 'paelle' for pan.
