What to make with rice… Paella rice 

 

The traditional Spanish dish of paella, originating in Valencia, takes its name from the dish in which it is prepared. A flat open cooking dish of Roman origin, in which the Spanish created a dish using an ingredient that reached them from Arab shores, paella is a historic melding of good things. Paella is made using relatively short-grained paella or risotto rice. Different regions have different traditions and preferences as to the added ingredients, and modern cooks have adapted and played with the basics. Paella remains a fine way to feed a family, or a crowd.
