INSTRUCTIONS
One of the most classic dishes of Spain, paella is a grand creation of
varied flavors and ingredients. Saffron, the world's most expensive spice,
baths the rice in a golden hue, while shellfish, meats, sausages, and
vegetables add color, texture, and contrast. Named after the wide, shallow
pan in which it is traditionally cooked, the dish is perfect for a party...
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add pork and chicken: cook about
15 minutes, or until chicken is browned on all sides. Add onion, garlic,
and ham; cook about 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Add
broth mixed with saffron and bay leaf; cook 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf and
add rice. Cover and continue cooking 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 or 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy saucepan and add
pepper and tomatoes. Cook about 5 minutes and add peas, beans, and a little
brothto prevent the vegetables from scorching. Cover and cook until
vegetables are tender; add to rice mixture. Mix in shrimp and mushrooms.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat to serving temperature.
