Paella - Valencia Style
Took a cooking class. This paella is easy to make. Not over powering. Found a paella pan at the local Winners store for $10. I would half this recipe for less people as this recipe can feed about 16 people. I have the full and 8 people recipe listed. Picture above is from class but I have made this a lot and if I can do this...so can you.

Paella Valenciana Paella Valenciana
As we say in Valencia, today feels like a Fallas day, and what better time to share my paella Valenciana—without lima beans, since I don't like them. For the second year in a row, we can't celebrate our beloved Fallas festival because of the pandemic. In my group, Falla L'Alquenència de Alzira, we've put together a virtual Fallas program and are kicking it off today with a paella contest, so I'm also sharing a photo of my decorated paella in honor of our beloved mascletà. It's a shame we can't enjoy the smell of fireworks... but I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do in Valencia.

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.

Paella Valenciana has several variations. Although the original recipe is made in a specific way, over time some ingredients have been changed or added to enhance its flavor and substance.

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.

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.

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.

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.
