How to Host a Paella Party Step-by-Step

By Lisa & Tony Sierra, About.com Guides

Because seafood paella has a mixture of meat, shellfish, vegetables and rice, it is full of robust flavors, and is quite filling. So, when paella is the main course, it is best to keep the rest of the meal simple, both in flavors and preparation. For those reasons, we recommend a classic Spanish mixed green salad on the side, and ice cream or flan for dessert.

• Classic Tapa - Tortilla de Patata with a Baguette
• Spanish Wine, a Spanish red and a Spanish white wine
• Ensalada Mixta - Spanish Mixed Green Salad
• Seafood Paella Recipe - Paella de Marisco
• Vanilla Flan, Coffee Flan or Turron Ice Cream with Chocolate
• Espresso Coffee
• Spanish Brandy or Liquor 43
