The most classic mixture

The Cullera de Boix chef, Xavier Matarrodona, presents a traditional sea and mountain dish.

Finding a paella that fits Valencian culinary standards is not a trivial task. In fact, one could say that each chef, even in their homeland, has a particular recipe. On this occasion, the Cullera de Boix restaurant chef, Xavier Matarrodona, has chosen to move away from the classic paella with meat, chicken or fish and seafood and offers a mixture, which, on the other hand, is very peculiar to us: sea and mountain on the same plate. A suggestion which allows us to enjoy the best of both places.
