Paella
Spanish food, today:
Paella
Paella is an internationally well known dish of white rice, meat, seafood, beans and vegetables (depending on the recipe) originating in the Spanish Autonomous Community of Valencia.
The two most widely known types of paella are Valencian paella (Spanish: paella valenciana) and seafood paella (Spanish: paella de marisco). Valencian paella consists of white rice, green vegetables, meat, snails, beans and seasoning. Seafood paella replaces meat and snails with seafood and omits beans and green vegetables. The varieties of rice used are usually Calasparra or Bomba. Other key ingredients include saffron, and olive oil.
This dish has gained considerable popularity throughout most of the Spanish-speaking world, including the Hispanic regions of the United States. It also enjoys moderate popularity throughout Western Europe.
