Paella - Introduction to Spanish Paella

We'll begin this tour with one of the most traditional Spanish cuisines -- Paella, a mixture of different meats, seafood, and vegetables slowly simmered in rice and spices.

Every Spanish cook (mother, father, or restaurant chef) has their own signature Paella recipe that will concentrate on some ingredients and spices more than others.  Therefore every Paella dish tastes different from another, and oftentimes can seem to hardly be related to another!

Given the amount of time involved in preparing this dish, it is most usually eaten on Sundays when everybody is home and has enough time to follow the many steps involved.
