This recipe is my twist on a traditional Persian chicken and rice dish introduced to me by a good friend's wife at a family dinner. I like to serve this to my family as a main meal accompanied with a salad.

Everybody likes chicken and rice. Just about every major culture has some sort of version of this archetypal recipe (by the way, people from minor cultures please save your emails). This is pure down-to-the-bone comfort food.

Ground beef and pasta cooked together in a skillet with sauce and cheese. Quick, hearty, and ideal for one-pot dinners.

The original, purist, real-deal chicken and sausage gumbo from a certified Cajun. Serve over cooked jasmine rice with hot French bread to dip.

Grilled flatbreads topped with fajita-seasoned chicken, peppers, and cheese. A bold fusion of Tex-Mex and pizza—fun for cookouts or casual dinners.

A traditional paella Valenciana. I lived in Spain for two years where I was taught the art of making paella which originated in Valencia. I haven't found anything on here which is even close to authentic, so I thought I would add this recipe for those who would like to try a taste of Spain. First and foremost you will need a special paella pan called a paellera or just a paella. Trust me after you taste this you'll be glad you bought the special pan.
