The Paella You'll Want for 4th of July. Or Whenever.
To Make It Happen, We've Got Chef Secrets and Even a Recipe

Anyone can grill a hot dog. Everyone can make a burger. And even the most inept can order delivery.

But cooking paella over an open flame... that's a different situation altogether.

Partly because it's a time-consuming enterprise, but also because what the hell goes into paella?

To find out, we consulted Chef Luis Montesinos from Jaleo by José Andrés in Las Vegas. He knows a thing or two about this traditional Spanish dish, and he's a proponent of making it for the 4th of July. Because, while it might not be American in origin, it's a shareable feast that'll really impress your party guests before the fireworks begin.

Enclosed, the good chef shares some pro tips for making your own. You'd be wise to listen to him.
