Tonight ota hosted a bacon party, in which guests were invited to bring a dish which contained bacon. Rather reminding me of a Iron Chef ingredient, I set about creating an original creation: bacon paella.
Paella is a Spanish dish which includes rice, vegetables and meat. The name paella comes from the word 'frying pan' in Valencian, and the word 'paellera', now refers to the low shallow pan with handles on both sides that is used for making and serving this dish. I have no such pan and improvised with a large cooking pan.
The dish came out ok, although I think next time I will add a few more spices as I felt the result was a bit blander than I would have liked.
