Authentic Spanish Seafood Paella recipe | Helina Sanchez walks you through her family seafood paella recipe revealing all secrets and showing you how to cook Spanish paella from scratch!
As one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine, Paella recipe has ancient roots, but in its modern form is traced back to the mid-19th century, in the rural area around the city of Valencia, on the east coast of Spain.
Paella takes its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish called Paella. In fact, the authentic name of the dish is Arroz a la paella, which means “rice cooked in Paella”. Paella means "frying pan" in Valencian, Valencia's regional language.
According to the Valencian tradition, paella is cooked on an open fire. Also, dining guests traditionally eat directly out of the pan instead of serving in plates.
The most delicious part of paella is considered to be a socarrat, a layer of toasted rice at the bottom of the pan. That thin crunchy layer where the rice melts with the paella pan, that ambrosia we scratch with fervor as if life were in it! Not that the rest of the dish isn't tasty, but nothing demonstrates the mastery of the rice-broth-fire combination as much as getting that caramelized layer on the bottom!
Since its inception paella has been a dish that brings people together to celebrate an event. It is a mainly festive dish. This tradition is very much alive in our time. There are many culinary festivals today in honor of paella and it is called ‘Paelles al Carrer’, which means ‘Paellas on the street’. The custom suggests that up to this day it is common in many festivities, especially in the Valencian area, to prepare giant paellas with firewood, which are distributed free of charge among the attendees.
