What better way to "visit" Spain than to enjoy Sangria and Paella?
I have made Sangria a few times in the past, each time with different ingredients. This is a list of what is in the goodness in the above picture.
- 1 Bottle red wine
- 1 Orange cut into slices
- 1 Lime cut into wedges
- 1 Green Apple cut into wedges
- 1/2 Cup Pineapple cut into chunks
- Splash of Apricot Brandy
- Splash of Gin
- Splash of OJ
- 2 Tbsp Sugar if desired
- Ginger Ale or Sprite if you like it on the sweeter side
Paella is not considered a national dish in Spain, but rather a regional one. It is a rice dish that originated on the east coast of Spain in Valencia. Paella is commonly made with rabbit, chicken, duck, snails, or seafood. Meat kinda freaks me out so I made a veggie version of this recipe. It took FOREVER, but was delicious!

I have that exact same pitcher. I call it Mr. Koolaid. :)
Your paella looks very tasty! Yay for veggie dishes!
I picked the pitcher out ONLY because it looked like Mr. Koolaid.
