PAELLA WITH TOMATOES
The cooking process for this simple paella is identical to any other: soften some onions in oil, add seasonings (including saffron, if you have it), rice and liquid and cook. Adding lightly seasoned tomatoes is the major difference in this recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Warm stock or water in a saucepan. Put tomatoes in a medium bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat.
- Put remaining oil in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, saffron if you are using it, and paprika and cook for a minute more. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is shiny, another minute or two. Add liquid and stir until just combined.
- Put tomato wedges on top of rice and drizzle with juices that accumulated in bottom of bowl. Put pan in oven and roast, undisturbed, for 15 minutes. Check to see if rice is dry and just tender. If not, return pan to oven for another 5 minutes. If rice looks too dry but still is not quite done, add a small amount of stock or water (or wine). When rice is ready, turn off oven and let pan sit for 5 to 15 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and sprinkle with parsley. If you like, put pan over high heat for a few minutes to develop a bit of a bottom crust before serving.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my paella didn't turn out at all. The rice was mushy and the seafood was overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

[email protected]This paella was just okay. The tomatoes didn't add much flavor and the rice was a bit dry. I probably won't make this recipe again.
