Equipment

  • 17 inch (144 cm) paella pan

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes diced
  • 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • ¾ lbs Spanish chorizo sliced into 1/2“-thick rounds
  • lbs medium grain rice
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large pinch saffron
  • lbs mussels raw, in a shell (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 lb small clams (frozen or fresh)
  • lbs raw shrimp medium or large, shells on
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and sliced
  • 10 oz package of frozen peas
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into serving-size pieces and chorizo into 1/2″ thick rounds. You’ll need one whole chicken, cut into serving-size pieces, or 10 thighs.
  • Slice red pepper and chop onions and tomatoes; set aside.
  • Next, start the grill. When the coals on the grill are covered in white ash, begin cooking. Assemble all ingredients on a table near the grill, so that you can stay in the area and monitor the cooking.
  • Place the paella pan on the grate and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and allow the pan to heat up.
  • When hot enough, sauté the onions and tomatoes in the olive oil. Add olive oil as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Once the onions are translucent, add the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, about 15 min. Add chorizo and cook, stirring often.
  • Add the rice, sprinkling in the form of a large cross on the pan. (Have approximately 1 lb of rice on hand for this.)
  • Stir for 2-3 minutes to thoroughly coat the rice with oil and mix with the other ingredients.
  • Add saffron threads to the chicken broth and stir. Slowly pour broth into a pan until pan contents are covered.
  • Spread ingredients evenly over bottom of the pan. Arrange mussels around outside edge of the pan, pointing up.
  • Place clams in a pan, distributing them evenly around the pan.
  • Add slices of pepper on top. Allow simmering, cooking rice.
  • Add more broth if necessary. (If fire becomes too hot, raise the pan up, away from the heat.) Three to 5 minutes before the rice is cooked, place the shrimp in the pan, distributing evenly. When rice is almost cooked, sprinkle peas over the pan.
  • When rice is cooked, remove from heat and cover with aluminum foil or large tea towel 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Slice lemons into wedges and serve.
