Paella

Paella is a typical valencian rice dish from Spain.
Pella is usually garnished with vegetables and meet or seafood. The three main ingredients are rice, saffrom and olive oil.
Paella is cooked in a paella pan, which is a large, shallow, flat pan. An important part of the flavor comes from the addition of saffrom and the sofrito, or the combination of tomatoes and garlic (and sometimes peppers).
