If you're like me, you may have thought that paella a la valenciana was made with a mixture of chicken and seafood and perhaps a bit of Spanish chorizo, onions, red peppers and peas for color. Well, as it turns out, the real paella a la valenciana is quite a different animal.

I recently tried out a recipe that I found on lapaella.net. According to this (and a number of other recipes I found in Spanish across the net) the real thing uses chicken, but no seafood, chorizo, onions, red peppers or peas. The recipe, which is quite easy but involves a number of steps, goes as follows:

    This is supposed to be the real thing, if you ask a Valencian. Well done! The thing is that people from Valencia are quite purist about this. Paella is cooked all over Spain, but most of the variations aren't considered real paella by the Valencians. They should know, anyway, they invented it ;-)

          I guess there are different versions depending which part of Spain you go, the one I have always tried was with seafood made by some people living in Madrid. I think it gets confusing...Your recipe seems quite delicious and when I see the recipe in Spanish it looks like a real deal :o)
