Today I’m going to show you my paella pan. I already presented the original paella from Spain some time ago in another post. Here is the terrace or balcony version with an electric pan – super practical.

You’ll find plenty of Spanish vibes in the article, because I cooked the dish in my garden on Mallorca.

Let’s get started and whip up a delicious rice dish. After all, we’re hungry after a swim, aren’t we?
