Paella is a traditional Spanish dish, made with rice, meat or fish, and a delicious sauce. Whilst many countries and regions have their own recipes and variations, the best paellas are made in Spain, on the beach, with fresh seafood. Still, that’s no excuse to not make your own and to join in the celebration. Enjoy Spanish Paella Day from the comfort of your own kitchen by getting adventurous with your cooking!
