Paella is cooked over an open fire, fueled by orange and pine branches along with pine cones. Also, dinner guests traditionally eat directly out of the paellera. Paella usually has a layer of toasted rice at the bottom of the pan called socarrat in Spain. Add some Spanish flair to the party with this deliciously hearty dish!
