Light Valencia Paella
Ingredients
Paella is a Valencian dish that varies wildly from chef to chef, finding its roots in the etymology of the word, which implies a dish cooked in a single pan. The core of the dish is rice, vegetables, and meat, making it a nutritious tradition that's easy to modify for your family's tastes.Tip: When working with short-grain rice, the key to avoiding sticky, over-cooked rice is to keep your temperature low and avoid stirring more than necessary.
