The story behind the dish

The original paella, long before seafood versions traveled the coast: bomba rice, chicken, rabbit, flat green beans, and garrofón beans, built on a saffron sofrito and finished with a deliberate socarrat — the caramelized crust at the bottom of the pan that Valencianos consider the best bite of the dish.
