Paella is for many the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to Spanish cuisine. And for the Spaniards, this dish is really iconic. The preparation of paella itself is an event and an occasion to invite friends and neighbors.
When I first came to Barcelona, I really wanted to try real Spanish paella. But the locals, who are well versed in cooking, told me that the “real” paella should be tasted in Valencia, and also warned that you should not go for paella to places located on every corner on tourist routes. Instead, I was offered to try to book a table in a small restaurant that is famous for its cuisine and revered by locals. I didn’t manage to get there the first time, in fact all the seats were booked, but when I got there, I was very surprised. It was there that I got acquainted with the most unusual paella of all that I have ever tasted. It was blackened! In order to somehow diversify the paella recipes presented on the site, I decided to reproduce the same, unusual, smoked paella, and at the same time introduce others to such an interesting option and an unconventional approach.
