Description
Paella, pronounced [pai·ay·uh]
Paella is a Spanish dish that originated in Valencia and traces back to the 19th century. It is the “Grandfather” of Jambalaya. Ask Chef Joyce for the epic story!
Chef Joyce learned her famous recipe while living in Spain, and she has continued to tweak it over the years to bring some panhandle flair. Her use of chorizo instead of plain sausage adds a little extra spice kick, so this dish is not for the faint of heart!
The name paella comes from the unique round pan the dish is cooked in. Traditionally, the pan has two handles for easy transport and is cooked over an open flame.
