How To Make spanish paella
-
Step 1In a large deep skillet over medium, heat ¼ cup oil. Add pork and sauté for 2 minutes. Add onion and peppers; sauté for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Transfer pork mixture to a bowl and set aside.
-
Step 2Return skillet to stove and heat another ¼ cup oil. Add chicken and sauté until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Season chicken with rosemary, paprika, thyme and cumin; transfer chicken into a small bowl and set aside.
-
Step 3Return skillet to the burner and heat the remaining ¼ cup oil. Add rice and sauté until translucent, about 10 to 12 minutes. Pour half of broth and stir to combine. Add pork and chicken mixture and stir until evenly mixed. Add chorizo and peas; stir to mix. Stir in the capers and saffron; give a quick stir. Preheat oven to 400ºF
-
Step 4Transfer half rice mixture at the bottom of a 15-inch paella pan. Place shellfish and prawns then cover with remaining rice mixture; well-spaced them. Transfer pan into the preheated oven and pour the rest of the broth. Cook for 25-35 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
-
Step 5Remove paella from the oven and discard any clams or mussels that failed to open. Spoon paella onto warm serving plates and top with fresh parsley; garnish with lemon wedges.
