This recipe is a local version of the Spanish dish “paella”. Arroz a la Valenciana is great for fiestas, birthdays, and family get-together after the Sunday mass. It’s a complete meal, a one-dish meal of meat, rice and vegetables. It’s healthy, too.
I don’t actually cook this dish but I tasted one that really made me like it. If you’ve got any suggestion to make this dish more sumptuous, please share it here for a yummy arroz a la valenciana. Gracias!!!
