Paella has no English translation. Served in nearly every home and restaurant, it is Spain’s national dish. Spanish cooks make it in a shallow, two-handled black skillet called a paella pan. The pan is taken directly from the stovetop to table, where the dish is served by the person at
the head of the table.
