Paellas

“Paella” is the most universal rice dish. Originating in the “Levante” region of Spain, it is one of the most imitated dishes in the world and one of the most difficult to produce. There are many different styles of Paella in Spain. At Jaleo we offer you “our” unique versions. Some say that there are as many Paella recipes as there are people. We use “Calasparra” rice, which some consider the best rice in Spain. Please allow 25 minutes cooking time. And do give the rice 5 minutes for settling, flavor blending, rice relaxing… Buen provecho!!!!
