PAELLA

Paella is a Spanish inspired dish. There are different kinds of paella..you can actually make

your own version with whatever staple that is available in your pantry. One of the key
ingredient though is saffron, which is considered to be the most expensive spice by weight in the whole world. Saffron gives this distinct yellow color with grassy or hay-like aroma.
