INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1/2 cup chorizo
    • 🍅 2 large tomatoes
    • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
    • 1 cup white wine
    • 1 pinch saffron
    • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    • 🍚 1 1/2 cups rice (short grain or paella rice)
    • 3 1/2 cups chicken stock
    • 🦐 1 pound jumbo shrimp
    • 🦪 1 pound mussels
    • 1 pound clams

STEPS

1

Place a medium-sized paella pan over medium-high heat, and add olive oil, onion, bell pepper, chorizo, and dried chili. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes.

2

Using a box grater, grate tomatoes directly into the pan. Stir and cook until liquid has reduced by half.

3

Reduce heat to low and add tomato paste, white wine, garlic, saffron, and smoked paprika. Cook the mixture, stirring, until fully incorporated.

4

Add rice and chicken stock. Stir until fully mixed. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes without stirring. Occasionally check to ensure nothing is sticking.

5

Add shrimp, mussels, and clams on top of the rice. Cover with a lid or foil and cook on low for another 5 minutes.

6

Turn off the heat and let the paella rest for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the paella with a fork before serving.
