One of Spain's most iconic and beloved dishes! Originating from the Valencia region, paella is traditionally made with a combination of rice, saffron, vegetables, and a variety of meats or seafood. We source meat locally from Vermont!
The key to a great paella is getting the perfect crispy layer of rice at the bottom (called "socarrat"), and it's often enjoyed with a glass of sangria, hard cider or a cold beer. The dish takes its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish on an open fire, paella being the word for a “frying pan” in Valencian/Catalan language. Originally, paella made in Valencia was a lunchtime meal for farmers and farm laborers. Workers would gather what was available to them around the rice fields.
Paella is not only a dish but also a wonderful cultural experience, often shared with family and friends around a table.
Your menu may include:
