What traditional Valencian dish is a rice stew with rabbit, snails, and beans? The answer is paella valenciana.

Paella valenciana is the traditional version of paella from Spain's Valencia region. Its classic ingredients include short-grain Valencian rice, rabbit, snails, flat green beans, lima beans, tomato, olive oil, saffron, and water. Chicken or duck may also appear, depending on the recipe and locality.

The dish developed as a practical outdoor meal for farmers working around the rice fields of the Albufera wetlands near Valencia. Cooks used rice and ingredients available nearby, cooking everything in a wide, shallow pan over a wood fire. The word paella originally referred to that pan, not specifically to the rice dish.

A common mix-up is treating any rice dish with seafood, chorizo, or mixed meat as paella valenciana. Valencians generally distinguish their traditional recipe from paella de marisco, seafood paella, and paella mixta. Fideuà is another Valencian specialty, but it uses noodles instead of rice.
