  Paella Glossary Term
The rice is the most important ingredient in paella, which is why nearly all paella recipes call for Valencia rice or similar short to medium-grain Spanish varieties and caution against using any rice that happens to be on hand (especially long-grain varieties or parboiled rice).
Paella is known for the dry, separate rice grains of the top layers that are accompanied by a browned crusty layer of rice that forms on the bottom of the pan.
Paella can be made as a meat dish, an all-vegetable dish, or as a combination of meats and vegetables.
