Recetas Arroces Valencianos

Authentic paella is the flagship of Valencian cuisine and probably in addition to Spanish cuisine, due to its worldwide gastronomic recognition. Its origin, like that of all the dishes of popular cuisine, derives from the combination of foods that each family had within their reach, especially in the region of the Huerta de Valencia, which was supplied with fresh vegetables. In addition, in the past it was customary to raise chickens and rabbits for family use, so, if we add to all this the abundance of rice grown in the Albufera, the result is this genuinely Valencian dish that receives the title of the container in which it is cooked.
