A stroll through the streets of any town in Spain is perfumed by the wafting aromas of garlic, saffron, and paprika. These three essential ingredients form the basis of so many favourite Spanish dishes and point to what this cuisine is all about – bold, bright flavour and rich, vibrant colour. The first recorded Spanish recipes date back to the fourteenth century when food was greatly influenced by the Moors, Arabs, Sephardic Jews, French and Italians. As a gateway between Africa, Europe, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Spain has been fought over throughout history, but each cultural influence has had an inspiration on Spanish cuisine. Developed in the Valencia region on Spain’s east coast by field workers in the 15th century, Paella has stood the tests of time and evolved, with many incarnations from duck, chicken, and chickpeas to vegetarian, but of course, the most popular version includes the wonderful fruits of the Mediterranean Sea. Use this blend to make an authentic Paella at home or just to add a taste of Spain to any dishes from grilled meat or fish, roast chicken or veggies, or sprinkled atop fresh dips or salads before serving.
