Spanish Rice (Paella). Paella is a world-famous dish which originated in the region of Valencia, in eastern Spain. It is now widely eaten in all provinces of Spain, as well as every continent of the world. Like so many other popular recipes, Valencian paella was initially a peasant dish.

The Rice: One of the keys to great paella is using the proper rice - not just anything will do.

My main complaints are (i) because of cooking in separate dishes, the rice and protein flavors don't blend, (ii) the dish is a bit drier than paella should be, and (iii) there isn't enough vegetables (needs more red bell pepper and peas and the like).
