Paella Recipe

Ingredients :

1 fresh chicken, about 1 kilo

4 crabs

12 clams

100g spiced ham

100g chorizo sausages

2 onions

3 cloves garlic

1 red pepper

150ml olive oil

500g long grained rice

25ml tomato sauce

1 liter chicken stock

1/4 tsp saffron powder

salt to taste

freshly ground black pepper

100g cooked peas

 

Garnish -

2 hard boiled eggs, quartered

8 lemon wedges

6 sprigs parsley

Method :

Disjoint the chicken and crabs. Boil the clams until the shells open. Cut the ham into strips and slice the sausage diagonally.

Slice the onion, crush the garlic and cut the red pepper into julienne strips. Heat one third of the oil in a large pan and saute the onion, red pepper and half the garlic for 3-4 minutes.

Add the chicken, ham and sausage and continue to cook over a medium heat until the meat is well browned. Pour in 200ml of cold water, bring to the boil and allow to simmer gently for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile in a paella pan, or large shallow casserole dish, heat the remaining olive oil and saute the remaining garlic until it is golden and crispy, then add the rice and cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously.

Add the crab, clams, tomato sauce, stock and saffron powder, stir to blend thoroughly and bring to the boil. Allow to boil for 3 minutes, add the chicken and other ingredients from the original pan and continue to cook until everything is tender and the stock has almost completely been absorbed.

Finally add the peas, place in a pre-heated moderately hot oven and bake for 20 minutes. To serve, garnish with hard boiled eggs, lemon wedges and sprigs of parsley.
