    \n
  1. Seafood Paella<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is probably the king of Spanish rice dishes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and makes the most famous and popular Spanish dish around the world. <\/span>It originated in Valencia, a region on the Mediterranean coast of Spain between Barcelona and Murcia, famous for its short grain rice. <\/span>It is the perfect base for whatever’s tantalizingly fresh from the sea-calamari, mussels, clams, and shrimps to name a few. <\/span>While not considered the most traditional of paellas, it’s one of our absolute favorites – both for the stunning presentation and the delicious, coastal flavor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Paella Valenciana<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This flavourful dish is one-pot rice that’s easy to make and perfect for casual weeknights, a romantic dinner, and entertainment. <\/span>Traditionally the recipe includes chickens, rabbits, and snails, along with a flavorful mix of garlic, onion, tomato, and saffron. <\/span>However, Paella Valenciana served in the coastal region of Spain features seafood, sausage, chicken and most importantly saffron. <\/span>However, if you do not like seafood, you can always make it with chicken alone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Cuban Rice (Cuban Rice)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Cuban rice is a classic dish of rice and fried eggs. <\/span>As with many popular Spanish dishes, it is cooked in a variety of regions- each having a unique recipe. <\/span>Some chefs prepare the rice with garlic while others cook it plain. <\/span>In some regions, the recipe might include a can of tomato sauce sauteed with a bit of olive oil or a sauce with onions and peppers. <\/span>Arroz al Horno is a similar dish that combines pork with blood sausage, chickpeas, and garlic.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Rice with Chicken (Chicken and Rice)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This is a standard main course in Spanish because it is tasty, inexpensive and easy to cook. <\/span>This dish is spiced with garlic, saffron, smoked paprika, and turmeric. <\/span>This classic dish contains browned chicken cooked with rice, onions, garlic, and tomatoes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Beans with Rice (Beans with Rice)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This dish provides you with a different way to taste vegetables and legumes. <\/span>It combines nutrition and taste together. <\/span>Filled with protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals, this Spanish dish is great for the fall and winter seasons. <\/span>It’s great for vegans and those on a diet as it’s meatless.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Arr\u00f2s a Banda<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Unlike paella, this dish is not prepared by combining all the ingredients together in the same pan. <\/span>Rather, all the ingredients are fried and cooked separately and then mixed together. <\/span>Its intense flavor comes from the fish stock that is used to cook the rice. <\/span>Traditionally, people would make a very intense fish broth for cooking the rice<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
