Deliciosa Paella para Llevar RESTAURANTE PARPALLO in BARX 96-280-7229 Avda. Luis Pericot 50, ( La Drova ) , Barx, 46758 Categorías: Restaurantes en Barx , Cocina valenciana .   Spanish food and wine are famous the world over and Valencia is at the culinary heartland of this food-loving nation. A Paradise on Earth for carnivores and seafood lovers, Valencia does not cater so well for vegetarians, although the wealth of fresh fruit and vegetables available in this sun-kissed part of the world mean that hearty vegetable soups and stews are always an option. Wine lovers are bound to be ecstatic during a trip to Valencia, meanwhile – among other choices, the region is a prime producer of the Cava sparkling wine that is increasingly giving Champagne a run for its money. Spain`s culinary scene is synonymous with Paella – that rich mix of seasoned rice and seafood that is the taste of Spain for countless visitors to the country. But not all paellas are created equal and foodies would be wise to look beyond the obvious and source those versions that are specific to the Valencia region. As well as the traditional seafood paella, which will typically include everything from shrimp and mussels to squid and even octopus, Valencia prides itself on its meat paellas, usually made with rabbit or chicken; and its Arroz a Banda. The latter is a rustic local take on the traditional paella, created by Valencia`s fishermen in centuries past. Here, the fish and seafood and rice are cooked separately, allowing the flavours of each to develop before they are mixed together. The dish is typically served with a pungent garlic and oil sauce, known as all i oli. Rice is very much a staple part of Valencian cuisine and is never bland. Combined with the local olive oil, fresh garlic, herbs and spices, it is delicious even before the addition of fish, seafood, meat and freshly-sourced seasonal vegetables.
