Paella recipes – six of the best

Paella is a Spanish rice dish that is traditionally cooked in a huge pan over an open fire, but you can also cook it at home on the stove or, even, on your barbecue.  Classic paella contains green and other beans, rabbit, chicken or duck meat as well as fragrant herbs.  Seafood paella is also hugely popular.  Here are six of our best paella dishes that are a healthier departure from traditional paella but still gorgeously creamy and bursting with flavour and texture.  There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of seafood and chicken or strictly vegan or vegetarian.
