Spanish Chicken Paella Recipe From Spain

Paella is Spain's gift to the world; or to be more precise, Valencia's legacy. The history of the dish explains how it was first made in open fields by mixing cooked rice with just about anything starting from snails to rabbits. The original Valencian Paella is a mixture of rice with meat, snails, eels, vegetables, beans and seasoning. Saffron is an important ingredient in this dish; the spice gives the rice its lovely color and flavor. Any festival or get-together in Spain is an occasion for a Paella lunch; this is cooked in huge quantities by whole communities. The dish is a part of the culture of the city and there are even Paella competitions.
