Paella Valenciana
Since tomorrow is International Paella Day, I chose the traditional recipe for "Paella Valenciana." This version includes snails, giving it a special flavor. As a proud Valencian, I had to pay this small tribute to my homeland.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Season the chicken and rabbit with salt. Start the paella by making a good sofrito. Brown the meat well. Add the green beans, cut into medium pieces, and the lima beans. Sauté briefly, then add the sweet paprika and more salt. Once browned, add the crushed tomatoes last and cook everything together.

With the sofrito ready, add water. A good ratio is to use three times as much water as rice by volume. Let the broth cook for 25 to 30 minutes over high heat, then add the saffron (or paella seasoning if needed).

After that time, taste and add salt as needed. Add the rice in a diagonal line across the pan and spread it evenly. Add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and cook for 20 minutes, letting the broth reduce.

Finally, turn off the heat and let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Paella originated in the rural areas of Valencia between the 15th and 16th centuries, due to the need for farmers and shepherds to have an easy-to-prepare meal with ingredients they had on hand in the fields. They always ate it in the afternoon.

Traditional Valencian Paella Traditional Valencian Paella
While living in Valencia as a university student, I worked weekends and holidays at a restaurant in Meliana, near Valencia. There, I was either in the kitchen or at the paella station, where we cooked between 10 and 30 paellas per meal service. That's where I learned to make authentic Valencian paella, as well as variations with artichokes and snails. Although I don't have a gas paella burner here, you can manage with an electric stovetop—just make sure the paella boils and cooks evenly. It doesn't use chicken broth; the secret is in the sofrito.

Paella Valenciana Paella Valenciana
We have a little house in the country where, during the summer months, our whole family—grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren—lives together. Every Sunday, we all gather around the table to enjoy a delicious paella. My grandfather taught my mother, my mother taught me, and now I teach my children. Any celebration comes with a good paella, but paella means much more than just a meal—it's a way to bring the family together and create happiness.

I’ve read recipes from here and there and created my own combination. I used a 20-inch (50 cm) paella pan, and the rice ends up about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) high.
