Ingredients
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
1 yellow onion, diced
-
2 red bell peppers, diced
-
1/2 cup chopped chorizo
-
1 dried red chili pepper
-
2 large tomatoes
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
1 cup white wine
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 big pinch saffron
-
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
-
1 1/2 cups Valencia rice (short grain or paella rice)
-
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
-
1 pound jumbo shrimp
-
1 pound mussels
-
1 pound clams
Directions
-
Place a medium-sized paella pan over medium-high heat, and add oil, onion, bell pepper, chorizo, and dried chili and cook until vegetables soften, about 3 minutes.
-
Using a box grater, grate tomatoes straight into the pan. Stir and cook until liquid has reduced by half.
-
Reduce heat to low, and add tomato paste, white wine, garlic, saffron, and paprika. Cook paste mixture down, stirring, until fully incorporated.
-
Add rice and chicken stock and stir until everything is all mixed in. Simmer over low heat, without stirring, for 15 minutes. Every now and then, peek with a spoon to make sure nothing is sticking or burning while simmering.
-
After 15 minutes add shrimp, mussels, and clams. Cover with a lid or foil and cook on low for another 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let the pan sit for 5 minutes.
-
Remove the lid. The rice should be fluffy with a slightly toasted bottom, mussels and clams should be open all of the way, and your shrimp should be pink. Fluff paella with a fork before serving.
