Paella

A paella is a Spanish rice dish from the pan and the national dish of the region of Valencia and the Spanish east coast. The term paella comes from the Catalan (in 1892) and has its origin in the Latin word patella (kind of a big plate or shallow bowl made ​​of metal). In 1900 the Valencian adapted the word paella for the metal pan in which their national dish is prepared.

The term paella is occasionally used in Spanish not only on the court, but also for the pan. But today refers to the pan in which a paella is cooked, usually as Paellera.
