What country did the rice dish "paella" come from?
Correct answer: Spain
Paul Haidet
Saffron, an expensive yellow spice, is used to dye rice used in Paella!
NickieBags
Had this dish while I was in Barcelona it was delicious
quicksilver
Paul Haidet, turmeric is an inexpensive substitute
Bunny
quicksilver, turmeric is NO substitute for saffron. Saffron had a distinct flavour, and turmeric's bitter root provides yellow color, but also a bitter, pungent, heavy flavour.

My Dad and I have made this dish and it is yummy especially made over the grill.

Paella comes from the Arabic work "ba'eya" which means leftovers, because the dish was made with all the leftovers at the end of the week.

Rice, olive oil, saffron and garlic are the main ingredient then you can do add anything but chorizo. We don't out chorizo in a paella. That is a Jamie Oliver invention.

mmm, after my knee replacement, I smoked a joint and made Patella Paella. Just what I kneeded. Somebody stop me ! 😄🤣😂

Truth
locally saffron is rare but a brand Vigro or close to it sells yellow rice seasoned with saffron plus other stuff. Not bad

Player #13638634, "Arroz à Valenciana" is another dish from Portugal, not Paella from Spain.

NickieBags, 😍

Bunny , the trick is to add turmeric at the end of cooking (as heating gives it the bitter taste) for dying the food. However I agree with u, saffron tastes much better

Saffron. Ah, yes--- "I'm just mad about Saffron, and Saffron is mad about me. They call me mellow yellow..."

Paul Haidet, saffron is used for it's distinct flavour, not so much fot its colouring properties.
Player #51305816
We have s similar dish here in Jamaica with a simple name too "seasoned rice". Everything goes in!

Player #12737677, Valencian paella is usually made with chicken, rabbit, broad beans and butter beans, with rosemary and occasionally snails. As well as the rice, garlic and saffron, the main base to any paella.
