The repertoire of Spanish rice recipes goes beyond the world famous rice dish, paella. Camila is here to guide you through some of the lesser famous, but equally delicious, rice dishes in this class series.

On the eastern coast of Spain, Valencia, namely the Ebro Delta, is the largest rice growing region of Europe. As you might guess, Valencians prepare rice in many different ways. This class will focus on one of Camila's favorites: arroz negro, or black rice. The name of the dish is not due to a dark varietal of rice (like forbidden rice), but because it is tinged by squid ink, an ingredient that makes this dish a little extra special, and worthwhile for any celebratory menus you might be dreaming up this holiday season.
