Paella 🥘, our country’s internationally most famous dish!... or is it?

I’ve you’ve been anywhere in the Catalan Countries or have followed this blog for a while, you’ll have noticed that lots of our traditional dishes are based on rice (“arròs” in Catalan). All of these “arrossos” (rice dishes) combine different ingredients and, as is normal with traditional popular cuisine, have different names and slightly different recipes depending on the area or even the family. We have the saying “there are as many paella recipes as there are households”, meaning that each family makes it in their own way.

But why am I doubting on whether this is a paella or not? The name “paella” (which simply means “pan” in Catalan because it is cooked on a pan, yes we are that original) comes from the central area of the Valencian Country. The other parts of the Catalan Countries have very similar dishes, for example in Catalonia the same exact dish is called “arròs de marisc” (“seafood rice”) or other names, depending on the area.

But for Valencians, the dish in the photo above is NOT a paella. The Valencian paella consists of rice with some rabbit and/or chicken meat, green beans, tomato, and more vegetables (whatever is around in that season and area) and can also include snails and duck. Basically what in many parts of Catalonia is called “arròs de muntanya” (mountain rice). As you see, no seafood.

So how has the world come to know paella as rice with seafood?

Paella was a dish traditionally made by the rural population, especially the lower classes, which is why it basically consists of rice with whatever else was around. Like many common popular dishes, it didn’t have a consistent name. In the late 19th century, foreigners from Madrid “discovered” paella and then spread it also to some French cooks, and they started to describe it (for the first time in 1885). From the beginning, these descriptions were already pretty different from the original paella, because it was adapted for the upper classes of Spain, especially considering that at the time the cuisine of the lower classes, and even less those from Valencia or other occupied territories, was seen negatively.

From there, the fame of the dish spread, every time further away from the original one as restaurants started cooking it and adding more expensive ingredients. After the tourism boom of the 1960s, more and more tourists have come to our coast and this version paella became even more famous, and the name “paella” also became known in Catalonia, where people associated it with the already existing arròs de mar, to the point that many people (and, of course, all touristic restaurants) in Catalonia started calling their arròs de mar “paella”. Since Catalonia has recently become a strong touristic destination, th

And on top of this, for some reason many foreigners seem to have taken the word “paella” to mean “rice with whatever I want to put in it and I’ll call it paella because it sounds better”. This often results in very bad combinations and mixing in things that “sounds Spanish” even if they don’t fit at all (like chorizo). These atrocities, mostly seen in England or other Northern European countries, often become trending topic on Valencian internet.

One of the most repeated sentences in these situations is “arròs amb coses no és paella!” (“rice with things is not paella!”). Now you understand why 😉

On a final note, this is not to say that the seafood “paella” is a fake. It is a traditional dish too, simply not the Valencian paella. This rice with seafood, which nowadays is often called “paella de marisc” (“seafood paella”) or “paella a la catalana” (“paella in the Catalonia way”) and its many variations accross the Catalan Countries are also delicious and definitely worth tasting! I personally eat it pretty often and I love it.

Europe 2022 - Spain & Portugal (day 12) Valencia

Today was a long drive from Grenada to Valencia. We arrived in the late afternoon with temperatures in the 40’s. We had a little free time to explore the City of Arts & Sciences located across the street from our hotel. Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is a cultural and architectural complex designed by designed by Santiago Calatrava (designer of Calgary’s Peace Bridge). It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the 12 Treasures of Spain. The Hemisfèric, also known as the planetarium or the "eye of knowledge", is the centerpiece of the City of Arts and Sciences, and is meant to resemble a giant eye. The Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe is an interactive museum of physical sciences that resembles the skeleton of a whale. The L'Umbracle is an open structure enveloping a landscaped walk with plant species indigenous to Valencia. L'Oceanogràfic is an open-air oceanographic park built in the shape of a water lily. L'Àgora is a covered plaza in which concerts, conferences and sporting events are held, and it is in the shape of a giant clam shell.

We walked across to see some of the buildings and statues. We saw some people dipping their feet in the fountains, so we were about to take our shoes off when we saw people on strange water toys in the other fountain (clear canoes, step paddle boards, electric paddle boards, jet bikes). We jumped at the chance to try something new, so did some paddling around the fountain before heading back to the hotel. It was very entertaining.

We then headed out to the town centre. We stopped first for a sample of Horchata (nut sweetened milk). Then we headed to the Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia, which is said to contain the Holy Chalice, believed by many to be the true Holy Grail. Our next stop was La Cigrona for our paella cooking class and supper. The most famous paella of all is the Valencian Paella. This typical dish has rabbit, chicken, beans and green beans, as well as a good sofrito made with tomato, onion, and garlic. After seeing a demonstration of how they prepare the paella, we were served it for supper. I always thought paella was more tomato based, but very little went into the dish. Instead it had many beans like chili. It was a interesting. We headed back to the hotel for evening views of the City of Arts & Sciences.

Spanish Snacks Dublin

Are you a student recently returned from Erasmus in Spain or planning on traveling to Spain in the future?

Are you missing the taste of the local cuisine or fancy testing out some Paella or Tapas?

If so, this is the blog for you!!

I recently returned from Erasmus in Spain and found it extremely difficult to find restaurants that recreate the atmosphere and taste of a local restaurants in Madrid or Barcelona at an affordable price.

For those of you unfamiliar with the local Spanish cuisine here is an introduction to traditional dishes found in the area.

Tapas

A Tapa is an appetizer or snack in Spanish cuisine and translates to small portion of any kind of Spanish cuisine. Tapa may be cold or hot. In some bars and restaurants in Spain and across the globe, tapas have evolved into a more sophisticated cuisine.  In Spain, tapas can include practically anything―from a chunk of tuna, a cocktail onion, and an olive skewered on a long toothpick, to piping hot chorizo sausage served in a small clay dish, to a gourmet slow-cooked beef cheek served over a sweet potato puree.

Paella

Paella is a Valencian rice dish that has ancient roots but its modern form originated in the mid-19th century in the area around Albufera lagoon on the east coast of Spain adjacent to the city of Valencia. A dish of paella consists of rice, meat (chicken, chorizo or beef), vegetables and seafood. The original purpose of cooking paella was to clear out the leftovers from a family’s fridge.

Fear not for I have discovered restaurants that will cater to all your necesidades de comida española.

1. The Paella Guys

Not necessarily a restaurant, but a gem of an establishment to eat fresh, traditional and affordable Paella in Dublin. The Paella Guys are an award-winning street food company. You can find them set up throughout Dublin at the Irish Village Markets in Sandyford, EastPoint, the Waterways Ireland Visitor Centre, Percy Place, Spencer Dock and at Mespil Road. I would highly recommend their Chicken & Chorizo Paella and Moorish Meatballs, it is a personal favorite of mine.

2. Las Tapas de Lola

World Tapas Day is on 16th June 2019 and why not take a trip to the mecca of tapas in Dublin. Hailed by hundreds of online reviews as the best tapas in Dublin, it’s very hard to argue with this when it comes to Las Tapas de Lola. The recipes hail from Barcelona where the owner is from. Lads Tapas de Lola combines fantastic Spanish cuisine accompanied with a vibrant Spanish atmosphere. Guaranteed clean plates at a very affordable price. Situated on Wexford Street Las Tapas de Lola is very accessible for students traveling into the city centre.

3. Havana

Easily the most reasonably priced Spanish restaurant in Dublin. Along with the amazing food the Havana offers excellent student deals as well as a 20%-off early-bird and paella Mondays, Lamb Tuesdays and Mojito Wednesdays. Located on George Street Havana is in a central location and easily accessible from anywhere in Dublin. Make sure to make a trip and enjoy some to-class Spanish cuisine.
