Paella is Spain 's gift to the world, or to be more precise, Valencia 's legacy. The history of dish explains how it was first performed in open areas by mixing cooked rice with almost everything from snails to rabbit. The original Valencia Paella is a mixture of rice with meat, snails, eels, vegetables, beans and spices. Saffron is an important ingredient in this dish; the spice gives rice its lovely color and flavor. Any festival or get-together in Spain is an opportunity for a Paella lunch, which is boiled in huge amounts of whole communities. Dish is part of the culture of the city, and there are even Paella contests.
Another version of Paella story comes from the Arabic account of workers mixing rice with residues from banquets to take home. Notwithstanding the history Paella traveled the world and is now an international court that has broad appeal and demand. The bowl has got many faces and it could be seafood Paella, mixed Paella, Paella Valencia or a simple vegetarian Paella.
