Paella originated in Valencia and originally included chicken, sausage, and shellfish. We have added an assortment of aromatic and sweet vegetables, including fennel, sweet onion, artichoke hearts, and a bright tangle of red and yellow bell pepper ribbons. Saffron is used for both its color and perfume but, if unavailable, turmeric may be substituted. Lightly steamed sugar snap peas complement this dish perfectly, along with a Spanish-style salad or ripe tomatoes and oranges.
