Cook On: 1 part chaos, 2 parts calm Pride and Paella

By Mary Ann Ebner

arlings of the dining scene come and go, but the Spanish dish pa- Della is an appealing rice dish that consistently holds its place. Essential components include rice and saffron seasoning. Saffron, the aromatic spice Crocus sativus, can be costly, but its production demands a dear price tag. The dried stigmas of hundreds of thousands of the flowering saffron crocus plants are gathered to produce tiny amounts of saffron. But there’s something special about saffron that lifts the humble paella from a simple one-pan creation to an elegant wonder. It’s worth a few extra dollars to purchase decent saffron, which gives the dish its yellow shade and laces it with a deep flavor. If you’re hoarding a miniature bottle Serve paella in its pan.
