What is Paella?

The Paella we know today is a classic Spanish one-pot rice dish, slow-cooked and marinated with meat, seafood, and vegetables, marinated in a meat broth and herbs and spices, served in one large pan.

However, did you know that term Paella comes from the Spanish words “paella” and “paellera” meaning pan? Yes! Just like how some recipes are named, this delectable rice dish is named after the pan where it is cooked and served.

Paella Valenciana, Paella Negra, & Paella Marinera – What’s the difference?

Paella recipes can differ across regions and countries, especially those that have Spanish influences, such as the Philippines.

Paella Valenciana, the one we are more familiar with, is made of chicken, rabbit, and other livestock as protein with various vegetables such as beans and artichokes with rosemary and saffron as your aromatics.

Paella Marinera or seafood paella is another popular dish. As the name suggests, it is an all seafood rice dish that is appealing to the eyes, as it is appetizing to the taste.

Paella Negra is a variation of the seafood Paella. It became popular because of its black rice, thanks to a lot of squid or cuttlefish ink. Usually served with Squid as protein, variations include shrimp, cuttlefish, and other seafood.

For meat lovers, another popular dish is the Paella Asado – Paella rice enriched with 4 hour slow-roasted pork belly and Spanish spices
