Let us talk about paella, one of the most famous
dishes from Spain.
Paella is a very typical dish in Spain. It comes from the region of Valencia, but people eat this dish throughout all the
country.
Its main ingredient is rice, and there are many different types of paella.
Its name comes from the frying pan used to prepare it. It was called patella in Latin. The frying pan is made of iron. It is not deep and it has a wide surface, and it can have two or more handles
The traditional Valencian paella is made of rice, vegetables and meat (chicken, rabbit, duck or snails). Spices are very
important to give paella its typical taste: saffron, paprika, rosemary, parsley, and
