Have you visited us at Food yet on Sundays to sample our famous paella dish? If not you have been missing out! We have launched our paella plate available on alternate Sundays at Food and The Fish Factory Worthing for only £10 a plate! We have been selling out by the end of the day so come and try for yourself and let us know what you think of our version of this famous dish.
Paella is currently an internationally-known rice dish from Spain. It originated in the fields of a region called Valencia on the eastern coast of Spain. Today paella is made in every region of Spain, using just about any kind of ingredient that goes well with rice. There are as many versions of paella as there are cooks. It may contain chicken, pork, shellfish, fish, eel, squid, beans, peas, artichokes or peppers. Saffron, the spice that also turns the rice a wonderful golden colour is an essential part of the dish. Wondering what is in our paella…?
Did you also know there is an old story of how the Moorish Kings’ servants created rice dishes by mixing the left-overs from royal banquets in large pots to take home. It is said by some that the word paella originates from the Arab word “baqiyah” meaning left-overs. However, linguists believe that the word paella comes from the name of the pan it is made in – the Latin term patella, a flat plate on which offerings were made to the Gods.
