Chef Sandra’s paella put her Gasolina Café on the map, drawing crowds to Ventura Blvd for a sidewalk taste of tradition. It starts with a classic sofrito: onions, garlic, and tomatoes cooked low and slow until deeply sweet. From there, bomba rice simmers in a rich vegetable stock until every grain is tender and infused with flavor. Earthy crimini mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and green beans round it out, adding texture and depth.
