It is heavily influenced by seafood available from the waters that surround the country, and reflects the country's deep maritime roots.

Favorite Pheasant dishes

Pheasant recipes
Pheasant is a great choice if we want to cook something special. We can adapt most chicken recipes to pheasant, although cooking a young pheasant is different to cooking an older one. We can roast, broil, or braise a pheasant or make a soup. Richly flavoured, pheasants are too good just to enjoy at Christmas.

Paella Marinera

Paella Marinera
Paella is a Valencian rice dish that originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century near lake Albufera, a lagoon in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but most Spaniards consider it to be a regional Valencian dish. There are three widely known types of paella: Valencian paella (Spanish: paella valenciana), seafood paella (Spanish: paella de marisco) and mixed paella (Spanish: paella mixta), but there are many others as well. Valencian paella consists of white rice, green vegetables, meat (rabbit, chicken, duck, land snails), beans and seasoning. Seafood paella replaces land animals with seafood and omits beans and green vegetables. Mixed paella is a free-style combination of land animals, seafood, vegetables, and sometimes beans. For Paella Marinera you will need shelled uncooked prawns, firm white-fleshed fish fillets, cloves garlic crushed, valencia or arborio rice, small squid cleaned, olive oil, green pepper cut into strips, saffron threads crumbled, unshelled cooked prawns to garnish, mussels cleaned, onion, large ripe tomatoes, and basic fish stock.
