Want a simple one-pan skillet dinner? Make this version of Paella Valenciana. Seriously. If there’s ever been a simple dish so wrapped in mystique with so many rules other than Paella, I don’t know what it is.
Poor Man’s Paella
Paella is one of those dishes that seems wrapped in mystique. People hear about saffron, special pans, and imported Spanish rice and assume it’s beyond their reach. That’s a shame because at its heart, paella began as peasant food – a practical dish built from what was available.
