Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 links cured chorizo, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick half moons
1 cup minced Spanish onion
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 cup diced tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups bomba rice
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
Six head-on shrimp (21-25 count), deveined, or 12 littleneck clams, purged and scrubbed 1 cup shelled peas, blanched
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Simmer the chicken stock in a medium saucepan.
  • In a 13-inch paella pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until lightly browned; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the onions, peppers and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine, then stir in the rice and saffron. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 minutes. Pour in 5 cups of the simmering chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and season with salt. Arrange the chorizo and shrimp on top of the rice.
  • Set the pan on the floor of the oven or on the lowest oven rack and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. (Do not stir the paella once it goes in the oven.) Scatter the peas over the paella, return to the oven and continue cooking until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender but not too soft, another 5 to 10 minutes. If the rice needs further cooking, add the remaining cup of stock and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Let the paella stand at room temperature, covered with foil, for 5 minutes. Serve garnished with lemon wedges and parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 to 8 skinless boneless chicken thighs
or
4 skinless boneless breasts
3 ½ cups chicken broth
2 white cooking onions or 1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper including seeds, finely chopped
juice of 1 lime (optional)
213 ml can tomato sauce
or
¼ cup tomato paste
1 tbsp dried thyme leaves
1 tbsp each of ground cumin and paprika
1 tsp each of allspice and salt
3 uncooked chorizo sausage or hot Italian or Andouille sausages
1 large sweet green pepper
4 ripe but firm tomatoes
1 ½ cups long grain rice
1 cup coarsely chopped coriander or flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Trim any visible fat from chicken and set aside. Pour broth into a large wide saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, tomato sauce, seasonings and salt. Once it comes to a boil reduce heat so mixture just simmers.
  • Slice sausages into ½ inch (1 cm) pieces as best you can or remove casings and roll into ½ inch (1 cm) rounds. Add to the broth. Cover and simmer while preparing chicken and veggies.
  • Meanwhile cut chicken into small pieces, no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. Coarsely chop green pepper and tomatoes. Then stir chicken, green pepper and tomatoes including juice into the mixture all at once. Increase heat so it comes to a boil, stir in the rice. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is done as you like, a total of about 45 minutes. To prevent rice from sticking, stir gently every 15 minutes being sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. Stir in coriander and serve sprinkled with additional coriander if you like.

Steps:

  • STEP 1-STARTING YOUR PAELLA: You will need a paellera or large covered pot.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high in the paellera. Lightly brown the chicken pieces on both sides, then place the sausage (chorizo) while the chicken is frying. Once the chicken is browned on both sides, remove the chicken and sausage and place them in a large bowl.
  • Next place the onions, green bell peppers and garlic in the paellera and saute until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the salt, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and wine to the paellera. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, sausage, rice, water, bay leafs, peas and saffron to the paellera. Stir in all the ingredients well. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for half an hour. The rice should be tender at this point.
  • STEP 2-THE FISH PREPARATION: While the rice is cooking, prepare the seafood.
  • Heat extra olive oil in a large pan, and saute a few extra sausage pieces in the olive oil. Remove the sausage, then saute the shrimp, pieces of lobster, mahi-mahi and scallops for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove the seafood, and mix into the paellera, stirring all of the seafood into the rice.
  • Remove paellera from stove, and place in the oven (preheat to 350 degrees). Bake for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve. You may also garnish with sliced red bell peppers, asparagus spears and tomatoes . Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Fresh seafood, chorizo, and chicken are essential.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If you are using a large pan, you may need to cook the ingredients in batches.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy.
  • Add the seafood, chorizo, and chicken to the pan towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the paella immediately with lemon wedges and aioli sauce.

Conclusion:

Cuban paella is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, seafood, and meat. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Cuban paella a try. You won't be disappointed!
