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.

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.
