Trick

  • Instead of roasting seafood in olive oil, you can prepare paella in salma style by adding it to roasted onions and garlic.
  • In addition to seafood, you can add ingredients such as wings, thighs, breasts, salami, sausage.
  • You can enrich the paella with your favorite spices.
  • We recommend using baldo rice instead of risotto for paella.
