Basic Paella

Bomba is a plump grain used in Spain for Paella and other traditional dishes. This grain comes from Valencia, the famous rice growing region. Bomba is ideal for absorbing the tasty spices, sauces and flavors of Mediterranean Recipes, Especially Paella, and can absorb three times its volume in liquid. Paella can be made with most meats and seafood (and combinations of both).
