Vicente is right when saying that cooking rice and making it perfect (not too mushy but not too hard either) is a hard task! Can't wait for it to be Fallas Festival once again and eat Valencian paella every midday!
Brilliant. Paella is so amazing in how it brings people together into a big ocasionon.
This video remind me so much of just eating paella with my family in Spain. Enjoying a meal together in Spain is never about the food, when you meet up with your „kolegas“ (as the one young boy from the video lovingly said) and „Padres“, but when you eat paella, you will always find everyone in pure bliss eating this. The „abuelitas“ in are just so wholesome. Loved this video

Wonderful video, thank you. I wish I could have just a bite of that paella so that I could savor the flavor.
What a lovely way of community celebration!

These videos are always so interesting!!
The story behind the tradition is both dark and wholesome. Hope you keep that thing going for many years to come.
Always room for improvement. That's a sign of a great chef.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
Those rice throws are satisfying
Vamo! Nada mejor que comer paella hecha por españoles deliciosa es la paella y cada familia la hace diferente, excepto mariscos ellos le dicen "arroz con basura" o "arroz con cosa" (una vieja señora española le dice así) Pd: Cuando duermo en camarote yo duermo abajo y españita arriba!! -mi novia viendo partidos de España en el mundial
Both in Catalan and Valencian, "paella" simply means "frying pan" so, in a sense, paella is whatever you cook on a frying pan, one of many dishes that got its name from the utensil it is cooked in, like "casserole" or "cassoulet". However, in one of those twists of the language, in Castilian Spanish "paella" is the dish and the pan is called "paellera", thus, the pan got named for the food is meant to be for, which is named for the name of the pot in another language. There are, of course, as many recipes for paella as regional foodstuff is available in each place. As for caterers for giant paellas, there are plenty all over Spain. I've seen one with a big truck purpose-built for that, with a crane to take care of handling the heavy items and the cargo compartment made of separate built-in cisterns for water and oil, with its hoses attached (no need to transfer it to buckets), a section of storage bins for rice, a general cargo section for the butane gas canisters and a refrigerated section. The section for the ingredients was made low so as to carry the frying pan, support legs and gas burner flat on the top half. So, giant paellas are such a big thing here that there are companies that have trucks with its cargo compartment purpose-built for that.

As said in the video, Paella its the tipical recipe from Valencia, but in the rest of Spain we take that concept and prepare our own recipe since ages. Been said that, you can find "paellas" with pork or even duck. Of course, theres also seafood paella, with even octopus. Basically, paella its a concept, and you can put whatever you want on it. However, if you look for trully spanish flavor, just dont throw into the pan whatever you think about. Choose 1 or 2 meats (not chorizo please), prepare a good "sofrito", good rice and lot of practice with the whater control.
