Spanish Paella Day

March 27 is Spanish Paella Day. Celebrate this unofficial holiday by cooking this rice and saffron dish.

Paella is a quintessentially Spanish rice dish that is thought to have originated in the Valencia region of Spain.

Rice and Saffron

The dish is typically made of rice, different kinds of beans, and meat. It is flavored with saffron, paprika, and other spices and herbs.

Different Types

At least two different versions of the dish exist. Seafood paella replaces the beans and the meat, which is usually chicken, rabbit, or snails, with seafood. Common seafood additions to the seafood paella are lobster, mussels, and shrimp. Mixed paella, on the other hand, includes both meat and seafood.

Special Pan

Paella is usually cooked over an open fire in a large shallow steel pan with two handles, also called paella. Tradition has it that diners must eat directly out of the pan.

How to Celebrate?

With some paella, of course! Whip up a batch at home or visit your local Spanish restaurant to enjoy this delicious rice dish.
If you have always wanted to visit Spain, what better excuse to book your next vacation to the country and sample some local paella?

Did You Know…

…that the paella comes from the Latin word patella, meaning pan?

A man boards a plane and is seated next to an Air Marshall and his ‘sniffing dog’. Soon, the plane takes off and the Marshall says, “Sniffer, search.” The dog walks along the aisle, and stops next to a woman. He then returns to his seat and puts a paw on the Marshall’s arm.

“Good boy,” says the Marshall.

“What happened?” asks the man.

“That woman is in possession of marijuana. We’ll arrest her when we land.”

Once again, Sniffer searches the aisles. He stops beside a man, then returns to his seat, and places two paws on the Marshall’s arm.

“That man is carrying cocaine,” the Marshall explains.

The dog walks up the aisle again, then races back, jumps into his seat, and poops all over it.
