How Is Traditional Paella Made?
Traditional paella is a Spanish dish made with rice and various meats or seafood. The rice is typically cooked in a large, shallow pan with saffron, garlic, onions, and tomatoes. Additional ingredients such as chicken, rabbit, chorizo, mussels, shrimp, and peas are added and cooked together until the rice is fully cooked and the dish has developed a crispy crust on the bottom known as the socarrat. It is often served with a wedge of lemon on top.
