The paella is Spain's favourite dish. It encompasses all that is Spanish . . . the colour, passion, variety and social warmth of the people. Originally a poor man's dish, the paella has worldwide fame with each region, town, village and even household creating their own versions of this gastronomic phenomenon. There are many paella competitions all over Spain ranging from the biggest to the best tasting and each region has its own dedicated 'Paella Day' in Barcelona it is a Thursday and here in Andalucia it is a Friday although traditionally it was Spain's very own Sunday lunch.

Why is paella a traditional food in Spain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Paella is not a traditional Spanish food. It is a traditional food in the area of Valencia.

There are many, many kinds of Paella. Almost all of them contain rice in some quantity.. Three are widely known. They are Paella Valenciana which has rice, meat, vegtables, and land snails but no fish or seafood; Seafood Paella which has any kind of seafood available in lieu of meat and snails, rice, and omits the vegatables and beans, Seafood Paella generally has shrimp and or logostinos, clams and mussells ; The third kind is Paella Mixta which can contain just about anything edible.

Paella is cooked in a large diameter, flat bottomed sheet metal pan called a paellera. Olive oil is added to the pan, brought up to temperature over an open fire and then the rice is added and sauteed. The other ingrediants are then added in order of the time required to cook them. Those requiring the most time are added first and those requiring less time are added in such a way that every thing is completely cooked at the same time or as close as possible. It is a group operation, the cooking is generally done by the men present, and generous amounts of wine are both imbibed and added to the paella if desired.

What is a course of appetisers in Spanish cuisine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Appetizers are called aperatvos, and hors d'oauvres are called entremeses.

Tapas, while they are small, single, portions are not eaten in anticipation of a meal. They are finger food meant to be enjoyed in a bar with drinks and friends. They generally eat enough tapas that a meal is not necessary. The best way to enjoy tapas is "Tapa Hoppin'" whereby 2 or 3 couples walk from bar to bar enjoying one or two drinks and one or two tapas each (in each establishment) and discuss whatever tickles their fancy. This can require hours of time.

Asked by Wiki User

Some tapas, such as paella and tortilla, use simple ingredients and only one pan. If your child is old enough to use heat, these options are simple. Otherwise, have them help you arrange pinchos, which are little tapas (fish, meat, cheese, veggies) on baguette slices.

How healthy is paella?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Paella is usually a mixture of white rice and seafood. White rice is not a healthfood (since it's a refined carb). Seafood is high in protein whilst being low in fat, but it is also high in cholesterol (which is a negative). All in all, paella is not really a healthfood, but it will do no harm if it's not eaten regularly.
