National Spanish Paella Day
El dia de paella. Today, we’re celebrating one of the most beautiful dishes on our menu! Paella originated in the Mediterranean coastal region of Spain, particularly Valencia. It was created by peasants and farmers in the mid-19th century and was named after the paellera, which is what it is cooked in. Traditional Spanish paella includes rice, tomatoes, stock, meats and seafood, and is simmered over a wood fire. This crowd-pleaser has become a much-loved and aesthetically pleasing dish that is enjoyed worldwide today. We invite you in to try any of our delightful paellas to experience the vibrance and authenticity that Mercat brings to Chicago! #NationalPaellaDay
