@ Buckytom: Paella Valenciana is Sea and Mountain

@ Buckytom.

Yes, that is correct. Mar y Montaña = sea and mountain, and this is a typical Valenciana paella, in the urban cities and foreign cities.

Actually paella is quite different in different regions of Valencia and the other 7 provinces along the Mediterranean coast. Each having a variation and alteration --- however, it is a shepherd´s dish, originally from a village called SUECA, VALENCIA, 33 km south of Valencia City --- in the hill country, la sierra.

Thanks for all the input ...

Margi.

America's version of surf and turf paella.

lol, kinda sorta. I always think of it like a Spanish, open faced jambalaya.

I was gifted with a beautiful paella pan years ago, and feel like such a bum that I have only had the chance to use it abut half a dozen times. This thing must be 3-4 feet across, and is an awesome wall piece, just wish I could use it for its' intended purpose more.
