Paella is both the name of the Spanish rice dish, and the large two-handled pan traditionally used to prepare it. Paella is the Catalan word for "pan," derived from the Latin patella. (So "paella pan" is technically redundant!) Owing to the history of paella as a peasant field dish, the classic recipe is full of meats like chicken, rabbit, eel, and even snails! Seafood paella became popular on the sunny beaches of Valencia and Barcelona. To prepare paella, combine water, saffron, and broth in a large saucepan.

Steps to make Classic Paella:
  1. Put the saffron into the chicken stock and allow it to steep for a while
  2. Dice the chicken and seal the pieces in a large frying pan with some olive oil for about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan
  3. Chop onion, carrot, celery and red pepper and fry in olive oil for 5 minutes until soft
  4. Add the chopped garlic and fry for another minute
  5. Add in the smoked paprika, corguette and oregano and stir well
  6. Pour in the rice and stir until it's all coated
  7. Pour over the saffron chicken stock and add the diced chicken pieces back to the pan. Add the tomatoes, season and stir well.
  8. Cook for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. If the rice dries out too much add some more water
  9. Add in the mussels, prawns, 3/4 of the chopped parsley and peas. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes until the seafood is cooked through
