When you think of Spain, you think of paella. But where did this iconic dish actually come from, and why are there so many different versions? In my first article here on The Sound Of The Costa<\/em>, I already wrote about everything you can eat in Spain besides paella and tapas<\/em><\/a>, but surprisingly, I\u2019ve hardly touched on the country\u2019s national dish itself. Time to set that right. <\/p>\n

In The Ultimate Paella Guide<\/em>, I\u2019ll take you on a journey into the world of paella: from the traditional Valencian version to surprising varieties you can find along the Costa’s. Plus, I\u2019ll share tips on what you definitely shouldn\u2019t do when ordering paella\u2014to avoid any embarrassing mistakes. <\/p>\n

The origins of paella: a bit of history<\/h4>\n

Paella originated in the 18th century in the Valencia<\/strong> region, where it was prepared by farmers who cooked their meals over an open fire using whatever ingredients the land provided. The word ‘paella’ comes from the Latin ‘patella,’ meaning a flat pan. Originally, the dish was made with rice, vegetables, rabbit, chicken, and sometimes snails. Seafood was only added later, especially when coastal areas adopted this traditional dish and adapted it to their own local ingredients. The use of saffron, an expensive spice, not only gave paella its characteristic color but was also seen as a status symbol. <\/p>\n

What truly makes a paella great is not just the choice of ingredients but especially the socarrat<\/strong>\u2014the crispy layer at the bottom of the pan. This forms when the rice is left on the heat just long enough to caramelize without burning. According to purists, paella should always be cooked over an open fire, preferably using orange tree wood for a subtle smoky flavor. <\/p>\n

Misconceptions about paella<\/h4>\n

Many tourists happily order a ‘paella mixta’\u2014a mix of seafood and meat. However, in Valencia, this is considered a cardinal sin. There, you either choose a ‘paella de mariscos’ (seafood) or a ‘paella valenciana’ (meat). Mixing the two is an absolute no-go according to purists. And although many experts are aware of this, we can\u2019t leave out one important detail in The Ultimate Paella Guide<\/em>: Spaniards eat paella as a lunch dish<\/strong>, not for dinner. <\/p>\n

The different types of paella on the Costa’s<\/h4>\n

Paella valenciana: <\/strong>The classic version with chicken, rabbit, and vegetables, typically found in the inland areas of Valencia. It is often cooked over an open fire with rosemary added for extra flavor. <\/p>\n

Paella de mariscos:<\/strong> Made with shrimp, mussels, and squid, often served along the coast. Popular among those who love a pure seafood flavor without any meat. <\/p>\n

Paella negra: <\/strong>Black paella made with squid ink, which not only gives it its distinctive color but also adds an intense, savory flavor. It is usually served with aioli. <\/p>\n

Paella alicantina:<\/strong> A specialty of the Alicante province, featuring both meat and seafood. It is often prepared with ‘salmorreta,’ a sauce made from garlic, tomato, and \u00f1ora peppers.<\/p>\n

Paella vegetariana: <\/strong>A version without meat or seafood, but rich in seasonal vegetables, bell peppers, artichokes, and saffron.<\/p>\n

What you definitely shouldn\u2019t do when ordering paella<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Ultimate Paella Guide<\/em> wouldn\u2019t live up to its name without a list of things to watch out for when enjoying this iconic dish.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask for chorizo in your paella<\/strong> \u2013 While chorizo might seem inseparable from Spanish cuisine, adding it to paella is actually a British invention that will earn you some disapproving looks from most Spaniards. Traditional paella does not include chorizo. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t order paella for one person<\/strong> \u2013 In Spain, paella is ordered per pan to share. It\u2019s a social dish meant to be enjoyed together, not as an individual serving. <\/p>\n

No lemon without permission<\/strong> \u2013 While some Spaniards do add lemon, purists see it as an insult to the chef. So, make sure to ask first. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stir the paella<\/strong> \u2013 Once the paella is ready, leave it as it is. Stirring breaks the socarrat\u2014the crispy crust at the bottom\u2014that is so highly prized. <\/p>\n

Avoid paella in touristy areas<\/strong> \u2013 The best paella is found where the locals eat, not in places with plastic menus full of pictures.<\/p>\n
