What it is
Valencia's gift to the world: Bomba rice cooked in an open pan over fire until it drinks up saffron broth and forms the prized socarrat crust. Ingredients: Bomba or Calasparra rice, chicken, rabbit, green beans (ferraúra), garrofó beans, tomato, saffron, smoked paprika, rosemary, olive oil, water or stock. Recipe: 1) Brown the meats in the paella pan; add vegetables and grated tomato. 2) Add water; simmer a rich broth; season and add saffron. 3) Spread rice in an even layer — never stir again. 4) Cook until the rice is tender and the bottom crackles; rest under foil. Serve: from the pan, with lemon and aioli on the side (purists skip the aioli). Flavor: smoky, saffron-gold, the crust nutty and crisp. History: born in the Albufera rice fields near Valencia; the authentic Valenciana uses chicken, rabbit and beans — seafood paellas are beloved but later coastal cousins.
