Paella
Serves Eight
8 chicken legs
3 chorizo sausages, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups medium grain rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon saffron threads
4 cups chicken stock (or 2 cups chicken stock and 2 cups clam juice)
1 pound shelled & cleaned shrimp marinated in:
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 pound fresh mussels and/or clams
2 cans artichoke hearts, drained
1 jar whole pimentos, drained
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas, cooked and drained
8 lobster claws or crab claws
2 lemons, quartered
In a large pan, brown the chicken legs and sausages in the olive oil. Add chopped onions and garlic, brown. Remove meat mixture from pan and reserve. Add rice to pan and cook until slightly golden and transparent. Add salt and pepper. Bring stock to a boil. Dissolve saffron in the boiling stock. Cover rice with the stock and put the meat mixture back in the pan. Cover and cook slowly until the liquid is absorbed (about 30 minutes) on the cooktop.
Marinate shrimp for at least one hour. Remove from marinade before adding to paella pan after the liquid has absorbed into the rice.
Garnish paella with mussels/clams, artichoke hearts, pimentos, peas, crab and lobster. Cover and let the garnish ingredients steam for 20 minutes over a low fire (so the rice on the bottom does not burn). Serve with lemon sections.

Paella - pronounced pa-yay-ya - is a rice dish that comes from Valencia, Spain. The dish is named after the Velancian word for 'frying pan' (from the Latin `patella`) The food is cooked in a large, flat, shallow pan. The three most important ingredients are rice, saffron and olive oil. Everything else is up to the imagination of the chef. Often, seafood such as cockles, prawns and fish is added, along with chicken, bell peppers and anything that will hold up to long slow cooking.

Paella is a Spanish dish that's mainly rice colored with saffron, often flavored with tomato. The other ingredients depend on what part of Spain the variety is from. Some Paellas use sausage, a few have mostly shellfish and other seafood, some have chicken, pork, game.
In time, Spain's Paella adjusted to the ingredients available in Mexico, the Philippines, Cuba and other former Spanish colonies. Centuries later, these adopted recipes have become adopted by the former colonies and considered their own native specialties.
