Upgrade Your Summer Entertaining: Enter for a Chance to Win the Barbecue Bible Party with Paella Sweepstakes
Authentic Spanish paella, which was first seen during the 18th century near the coastal city of Valencia, has much in common with American barbecue. Like barbecue, it began as a poor peoples’ food, cooked outdoors over open fires, served as a communal dish that brought laborers together for the midday meal.
This summer, we encourage you to explore this tradition and bring together your friends and family over the delicious blend of rice, vegetables, and protein that make up this delightful dish. To help you bring this tradition alive in your backyard, we’ve partnered with our friends at La Tienda and Lodge Cast Iron to bring you the Party with Paella Sweepstakes!
One lucky winner will receive:
- La Tienda’s Paella Grill System with Burner: This versatile grill system works with the traditional paella heat source (hardwood) as well as charcoal or propane. Easy assembly and quick cleanup make this a no-brainer for paella
- Lodge’s 15 Inch Carbon Steel Skillet: In this skillet you’ll find the durability we’ve come to expect from a Lodge product combined with the perfect shape and design for paella.

More helpful tips for serving paella:
- Paella is a festive and abundant dish that is meant to be shared communally. Give each diner a wooden spoon for scooping out a portion.
- Accompany the paella with grilled garlic bread for sopping up the juices, a green salad, and either White Sangria or a crisp, dry Spanish wine such as an Albariño or Txakoli.
- A paella pan is the preferred equipment for cooking this classic dish. It not only looks cool, but it encourages the rice to caramelize into a golden brown layer (called soccorat) on the bottom of the pan—the best part, some people say, of a well-made paella.
