Provided by Food Network

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups stock or water
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into thick wedges
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Large pinch saffron threads, optional
2 teaspoons Spanish pimenton (smoked paprika), or other paprika
2 cups Spanish or other short-grain rice
Minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Warm stock or water in a saucepan. Put the tomatoes in a medium bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Put the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch 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.

This paella was a disaster! The rice was undercooked and the seafood was rubbery. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I'm not a big fan of paella, but this recipe was pretty good. The rice was cooked well and the seafood was flavorful. I would make it again.

This paella was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still a good dish. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

This paella was okay. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. I might make it again if I'm in a pinch.

This paella recipe is a keeper! The flavors are incredible and it's so easy to make. I used bomba rice and it came out perfectly. I also added some chopped bell peppers and zucchini, which was a nice addition. Thanks for sharing!
