How to Make Paella Gaditana
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of learning how to make an authentic Spanish rice with seafood. According to my instructor, Enrique, the term paella generally refers to rice prepared in the style typical to Valencia. Since the rice seen here was made in Puerto de Santa Maria, a province of the Southern Spanish city, Cadiz, I'm calling it a paella gaditano.

Last week I was invited to an arroz, a Spanish lunch where a huge cazuela of rice was on the menu. It is made in the traditional Spanish style, and the rice has no out-of-the-ordinary ingredients. The unusual part is the way in which it is eaten.

Come Party With Me: Impromptu Concert - Menu
Last week, while in Spain, I helped my buddies plan a concert and after party. The main event was the concert, but after the show we chowed down on a delicious cheesy stuffed pork appetizer and a hearty rabbit arroz — a dish that is similar to a paella. I spoke with Javi, the sous chef who created the pork rolls, and he gave me both of the recipes!
