We love elaborate rice dishes, so paella recipes are always a special-occasion treat. March 27th is National Paella Day, so we’re getting out the paella pan and cooking up a party.

A paella recipe typically makes enough for a group. It’s also a party pleaser, whether you’re sitting at the table or having a buffet.

You can make paella on the grill; you can make it with quinoa instead of rice, and with turmeric instead of saffron.
