The Spanish paella is a one-pot dish with many traditional ingredients. It can contain virtually anything; we've made ours with chicken, chorizo, shrimp, peppers, and scallions. As with all one-pot cooking, it's important to build the flavors as you go. One note: You'll need a traditional paella pan to really bring this one off to perfection.
