Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 26

9 3/4 cups homemade chicken stock (see page 220) or canned low-sodium chicken broth
9 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large Spanish onion, diced
2 cups short-grain rice
Large pinch of saffron threads
4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (2 1/2-pound) chickens, each cut into 8 pieces
2 (1 1/2-pound) live lobsters
8 ounces dried chorizo, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
24 mussels, debearded and scrubbed
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 baby squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
1 cup shelled fresh peas
1/2 cup Lemon Aioli (recipe follows)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more if needed
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped lemon zest
3/4 cup olive oil
Freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring 7 3/4 cups of the stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat.
  • Add the saffron to the simmering stock and cook for 1 minute. Then add the stock to the rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
  • Put the tomatoes in a small baking dish, and drizzle with the honey and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven until soft, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 450°F.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet until almost smoking. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, place in the skillet (in batches if necessary), and brown all sides. Pour off the fat, and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cover the pot. Return to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then shell the lobsters. Keep the claws whole; coarsely chop the tail meat.
  • Cook the chorizo in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat until browned on both sides, 6 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Combine the mussels and clams in a pot, add 1 cup water, cover the pot, and cook over high heat until they open, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard any that do not open.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan or paella pan until almost smoking. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and sauté for 1 minute. Season the squid with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice, remaining 2 cups stock, the peas, tomatoes, chicken, lobster meat, and chorizo, and stir to combine. Add the mussels and clams.
  • Fold in the Lemon Aioli and parsley, and mix until combined; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
  • Combine the garlic, salt, egg yolks, lemon juice, and zest in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth. Slowly add the oil, drop by drop at first, processing until thickened. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 1h

Yield 2 4 portion servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 1/2 ounces chorizo sausage, halved lengthways and sliced
8 chicken thighs, skin removed, boned and cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
1 1/3 lbs paella rice
8 1/2 cups chicken stock, hot
2 red peppers, deseeded and sliced
2 yellow peppers, deseeded and sliced
5 ounces fine green beans, trimmed and blanched
6 roma tomatoes, cut into chunky pieces
1 ounce fresh flat leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped
lemon wedge, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat 2 large, deep frying pans over a medium heat. When hot, divide the chorizo between the pans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, until turning golden and the oil has been released. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Divide the chicken between the pans and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to each pan, then divide the onions between them. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, until softened. Divide the garlic and paprika between each pan and cook for 1 minute. Divide the rice between them, stir to coat in the oil. Add half the hot stock to each. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Return the chicken to the pans and divide the peppers, beans and tomatoes between the pans. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, adding a little more stock or hot water if necessary.
  • Season and stir the chorizo and parsley into each pan. Divide 1 pan of the paella between 2 freezer-proof boxes, cool, label and freeze (see freezing tip).
  • Continue to cook the other paella for 5 minutes or until the rice is just tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.

Tips:

  • Use bomba or Valencia rice for the most authentic paella. These short-grain rices absorb the flavorful broth well and hold their shape after cooking.
  • Sauté the rice in olive oil before adding the broth. This step helps to toast the rice and develop its flavor.
  • Use a wide, shallow pan to cook the paella. This allows the rice to spread out in a thin layer, which helps it to cook evenly.
  • Add the broth to the paella in two or three batches, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. This helps to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Top the paella with seafood, chicken, and vegetables about halfway through the cooking time. This allows the toppings to cook through without overcooking.
  • Serve the paella with lemon wedges and garlic aioli.

Conclusion:

Paella is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Whether you prefer seafood, chicken, or vegetables, there is a paella recipe that will suit your taste. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious paella at home.
