Seafood Paella
 
 
Makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 15 oz. can clam stock
  • ½ teaspoon saffron
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 medium tomatoes, peeled and diced (see notes)
  • 2¼ cups Bomba rice
  • 6 ounces cooked Spanish chorizo, halved lengthwise and then cut crosswise into ¼"-thick pieces
  • 6-8 large head-on, shell-on prawns
  • 1 pound clams, scrubbed and rinsed
  • ½ pound mussels, scrubbed, debearded and rinsed
  • ⅓ cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. In a medium sauce pan, bring chicken broth, clam stock and saffron to a simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a paella or large shallow fry pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Then add broth mixture; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, without stirring, until the liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes; rotate pan every 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Scatter the chorizo and prawns over the rice. Nestle the clams and mussels, hinge side down, between the prawns. Simmer, without stirring, until the liquid is absorbed and the clams and mussels open, about 20 minutes; flip prawns halfway through.
  5. Scatter the peas and parsley on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
To peel tomatoes, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, score a small X in the bottom of each tomato with a paring knife. Add tomatoes to pot and cook, uncovered, for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, rub off skins.
