Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1/3 cup olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 small carrots, chopped
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
8 ounces Spanish chorizo, chopped
3 cups short-grain Spanish rice
4 mussels, de-bearded and scrubbed
4 clams, scrubbed
4 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup fresh green peas
2 lemons: 1 juiced, 1 cut into wedges for serving

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepot over medium-high heat, bring the chicken stock to a boil and add the saffron. Reserve the stock warm over medium-low heat.
  • 2. In a medium-size paella pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • 3. Add the peppers, carrots, onion, and chorizo, and sauté until the vegetables just start to tenderize, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and toast, stirring frequently, until it just becomes translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • 4. Add enough of the warm stock to the pan to just cover the rice, and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • 5. Arrange the seafood and peas over the rice, add the lemon juice, re-cover, and continue simmering until the seafood is cooked through and shellfish have opened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cooked paella from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

This paella was a complete disaster. The rice was burnt and the seafood was raw.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my paella didn't turn out well. The rice was mushy and the seafood was overcooked.

This paella was a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

The rice in this paella was a little undercooked, but the flavors were still good.

This paella was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good.
