WHAT IS PAELLA?

Paella is a traditional Spanish rice dish that originated in the region of Valencia in Spain. It is usually made with a variety of ingredients including rice, vegetables, seafood, and spices. The dish is served with a variety of accompaniments such as aioli, lemon wedges, and parsley. It is also traditionally cooked in a large pan called a paellera. However, I won’t judge you if you cook yours up in a large non-stick frying pan.

WHAT DOES THIS HOMEMADE PAELLA SEASONING TASTE LIKE?

The taste of paella might vary depending on the blend because the seasoning often includes a combination of herbs and spices. Garlic, onion, saffron, paprika, cumin, and oregano are typical flavors. Other spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, and chili peppers might also be present in some blends. The overall flavor of this homemade mixture is savory, slightly spicy, and herbaceous.

CAN YOU MAKE PAELLA SEASONING AHEAD OF TIME?

Absolutely! I like to have a jar of all sorts of homemade spices and seasoning on hand whenever the craving strikes.

As a rule of thumb, when making spice blends: the earliest expiration date on your ingredients is now the new expiration date for your homemade Mediterranean seasoning blend.

It can be used to flavor soups and stews, roasted vegetables, poultry, fish, and meats. It can also be used as a rub for barbecued meats, or added to sauces and marinades.
