Description
Paella Fridays


Live Music and Paella Dinner Start at 6pm

Paella is a Spanish, saffron-flavored dish made of rice with shellfish, spanish chorizo and chicken. Paella is named after a cooking utensil, traditionally and preferably made of iron.

The pan is circular and shallow with two round handles on opposite sides with a flat base of a good thickness.

The word itself is old Valencian and probably has its roots in the Latin "patella" (A flat basket in Galicia). The Castillian "paila" and the French "paele" mean the same thing.

During the centuries following the establishment of rice in Spain, the peasants of Valencia would use the paella pan to cook rice with easily available ingredients from the countryside: tomatoes, onions and snails. On special occasions rabbit or duck might be included, and the better-off could afford chicken.
