Que bonito! This is how paella got it’s name 💛

That paella is super deliciosa we of course already knew, but that the name of this dish also has a very wonderful origin is less known.

Once you know how this colourful dish did get his name you’ll eat it with even more amor and enjoyment. Paella is the smooth pronouncement of ‘para ella’ or ‘for her’. When men used to cook for their women, they liked to make this meal where they could use their catch from the sea and all kinds of leftovers for.

Other linguists see the origin of the name of this meal in the Latin word for ‘pan’, which is ‘patella’. Otra teoría is that one day the queen of Spain came to visit a small town of Valencia and the residents wanted to prepare a special meal ‘para ella’.

Many historias about this meal! Not that you needed it, because with spring coming you wanted to prepare this delicacy anyway! See aqui the recipe y disfruta!
