INSTRUCTIONS
In the February 1st New York Newsday, there is a section on cooking and a
recipe was featured by a gentleman named Dick Morales from South Hampton,
Long Island on Paella. It looks great so, I figured I would post it for all
of you.
1. Bring broth to a boil, turn off heat and add saffron. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate pan (with tight fitting lid) cook chicken legs
in 4 tbs. of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown, turning often.
Set chicken aside in covered dish to keep warm. Add garlic and onions to
pan that had chicken in it and cover over low heat, stirring frequently,
until onions are translucent. Add rice to this pan and cook, stirring
lightly with a fork, until it is translucent and slightly golden.
3. Add chicken broth with saffron, salt and cayenne pepper, hot peppers,
white wine, 1/2 cup olive oil and stir to loosen any browned bits on bottom
of pan. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Rub a little olive oil in the inside of a large ovenproof casserole or 2
smaller ones. Place half of the uncooked shellfish in casserole(s), half of
the chorizo, tomatoes, peas and pimentos. Top with about 3/4 of rice
mixture. Arrange chicken legs and rest of shellfish, chorizo, tomatoes,
peas and pimento on top and spoon remaining rice and broth around these.
5. Cover casserole and bake for 30 to 35 minutes in preheated 325 degree
oven. (Check once or twice to see if mixture has started to dry out before
rice is cooked. If more liquid is needed, add boiling broth or water.)
Remove cover and continue baking until rice is fluffy and chicken legs and
shellfish are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Discard any unopened
shellfish.
