Paella Valenciana
Recipe:
Ingredients:
* 4 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
* 2 links Chorizo sausage, cut in chunks
* 6 ounces chicken breast or tenderloin, cut in chunks
* 1 6 oz beef round steak, cut in chunks
* 4 garlic cloves, chopped or minced
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 onion, julienned or chopped
* 8 ounces white wine
* 1 tomato peeled, seeded, and chopped
* Pinch saffron (12 to 15 threads, put in 1/2 cup boiling water for five mins, add water, threads and all to the dish) I get mine at WalMart; McCormick brand, $15 a jar for enough for five or six paella.
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
* 12 ounces uncooked arborio rice
* 16 ounces chicken stock
* 1 tbsp brown sugar
* 6 ounces peeled and deveined frozen jumbo shrimp (about 12-16)
* 4-6 ounces of "leg style" fake crab meat (pollock), cut in chunks
* 4 ounces cooked green peas
* lemon zest, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a saute pan on medium heat add 1/2 cup water and cook chorizo chunks for 10 mins, covered, turning once. Reserve on warm or low.
In a saute pan on med/low heat with 1 tbsp olive oil cook the chicken chunks. Sprinkle a little lemon-pepper seasoning on one side. Cover. Turn once when nicely browned. When the oil becomes absorbed, add 1/2 cup water to the pan, and recover, reducing heat to low.
Thaw shrimp in a bowl of cold water in the sink, with a slow stream of cold water running in the bowl. This will take 5-7 mins.
In a paella pan, heat the olive oil and add garlic, bay leaf, and onions. and beef round steak chunks. Saute until onions are transparent, turn beef once. Add white wine, tomato, saffron, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Then, add rice and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add brown sugar. Fish out the bay leaves and discard. Then cover the paella pan with foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
In the same saute pan used for the chorizo, put in 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat and add the beef round chunks. Cover for 5 mins, then turn the beef once. Recover for another 4-5 mins.
After the paella has baked in the over for 10 minutes, remove from oven and place on the rice the chicken, chorizo, beef chunks, shrimp, and fake crab "leg" meat. Sprinkle on cooked frozen peas for color. Recover the paella and return to the oven for another 10-12 mins. Remove from oven, allow to recover 2-3 mins while the pan is still covered with foil and you're rounding up the diners. Place paella on the table and uncover, add zest, say the blessing, and tuck in.
