Heritage of the Dish

00:00 / 00:00

Paella originates from the Valencian region of Spain traditionally served with rabbit. A Valencian is very proud of their heritage and would argue that you cannot call it paella if it does not have rabbit, but nowadays there are so many variations of paella using all kinds of delicious ingredients from succulent chicken thighs, to pork ribs, Galician beef, seafood and even octopus and it has become a staple dish throughout the whole of Spain. It’s like the equivalent of the UK’s roast Sunday lunch. Paella for me sings out Sundays in Spain gathering as a family and sharing the cooking of this dish together over an open fire and watching the rice bubble away in the stock whilst sipping on a glass of rioja. I have kept this dish very close to its traditional routes only swapping out the rabbit for chicken thighs, the red pepper gives the dish a sweet succulent flavour and the artichokes cut through the richness.

The word 'paella' refers to the wide, flat pan the dish is traditionally cooked in. It famously originates from Valencia but now over 200 versions of paella dishes exist in Spain. Spanish folklore and myths tell a romantic tale of the dishes beginnings in which the dish was first prepared by a man in love for his fiancee. The dishes name is then said to have come from 'parra ella' meaning 'for her' in Spanish. As lovely a tale as this is the dishes true origins are more likely to have come from farm workers and labourers food. Paella would have been cooked over an outdoor fire and could include anything from chicken and rabbit to snails and wild mushrooms and beans.

Hero Ingredients

Bomba Rice

Bomba rice is a prized short-grain variety from eastern Spain, often regarded as the “king of paella rice.” Valued for its ability to absorb 2–3 times its volume in liquid, it holds its shape beautifully without becoming sticky. Its high quality and controlled production give it a protected status, making it one of the most sought-after rices in Spain. Essential in paella, it delivers perfect texture and an authentic Spanish finish.

Saffron

Saffron is prized for its delicate floral aroma, vibrant golden colour and subtle sweetness. When steeped, its fine threads infuse rice, broths and sauces with rich fragrance and depth, bringing an unmistakable touch of luxury to any dish.
