FAQs?
Which dishes you can pair Paella?
Paella itself is a complete dish and can be served individually but you can combine it with other dishes for a better serving. For this purpose, you can pair it with salads such as Caesar salad, roasted bell peppers, or white or brown bread.
Is it necessary to have peas at the top?
No, it’s not necessary but Williams Sonoma includes making a layer of peas. You can skip the taste but with peas, the dish tastes better.
