パエリア

Paella is Valencia's original dish. If you visit Valencia, you should definitely eat paella. There are three types of paella:

• Mountain Paella (chicken, rabbit, beans, rice)
• Seafood Paella (mixed seafood, beans, rice)
• Mixed Paella (chicken, rabbit, seafood, beans, rice)

Some recipes use snails, garlic, green pepper or red pepper. Paella is always made with short-grain white rice and saffron which gives it a yellow colour. Traditionally, men make paella outside over a wood fire and everyone eats directly from the pan (paellera). Paella is especially eaten on Sunday afternoons. 

This paella was made for 7 people but 8 people came to the party, and still we couldn't finish it!
