I consider myself a true rice enthusiast. Every week, I enjoy experimenting with leftover white rice from family dinners, often adding spices like turmeric and cumin from my pantry to create new savory dishes.

Yet, despite eating rice three times a week, it’s been nine years since I’ve had paella — a Spanish rice dish full of seafood, meat and vegetables. So I visited The Paella Mix, a Spanish restaurant that opened earlier this fall in Kansas City’s River Market.

Upon entering, the owner Carlos Saura, whom I’d called an hour before to book a reservation and let him know I’d be reviewing his restaurant, greeted me from the kitchen with an excited wave. He informed my party of four that there were five minutes left in the 45-minute paella-making process, during which the rice slowly cooks in saffron broth to form a crisp bottom layer. So, we ordered two additional tapas — small Spanish dishes — that would arrive just as the paella was ready.
