Paella is a traditional dish from Spain, well known for having rich flavors and variations. They can be different based on the region of Spain you are in or where the recipe came from. Most typically are seasoned with saffron. These days, saffron is sold in little capsules of a few threads each. This recipe calls for a pinch and I'd probably try grinding up one or two capsules until you get the flavor you like. Many paella recipe call for meats and seafood, so customize this how you like.
