Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the peppers and onion. Peel and chop the garlic, and do the same with the green beans.
- 2
In a paella pan, heat a little olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and brown them. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- 3
In the same oil, sauté the peppers, onion, and green beans.
- 4
Add the chicken and garlic back to the pan, and continue browning everything together.
- 5
Now add all the rice with a little paprika. Stir, then add the crushed tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes until the rice takes on some color.
- 6
Add the water (5 1/4 cups). Spread the rice evenly in the pan so it cooks well. Increase the heat to bring it to a boil, then reduce to medium once boiling.
- 7
Add salt and rosemary. Without stirring the rice, let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning on the bottom—some crispy rice is great, but burnt rice will ruin the paella.
- 8
Once the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and let the paella rest, covered with a towel or loosely with aluminum foil, for about 5 minutes.
- 9
Serve 4 portions—there might be a little extra for seconds!
- 10
Tip: Serve with a slice of toasted bread with tomato and aioli. Enjoy with a good sangria, and if you like, squeeze a little lemon over your plate. Delicious!

Spanish Paella Spanish Paella
A paella pan is ideal when making this Spanish Valencia dish; consisting of chicken, sausage and available seafood ingredients. [In lieu of a paella pan, a very large pan can be used]This dish can be prepared outdoors (gas grill) or indoors using a large burner on the stove. Near the end of the cooking process you will need a lid to cover the pan - I use a metal pizza pan.*The ideal paella has a toasted rice bottom, called socarrat. The key ingredient is the saffron threads and other types of seafood can be substituted! Rick M -

A senior co-worker of mine made me this dish years ago, and I was impressed that you can make it at home. She gave me the recipe and it has changed as I've made it over and over. I stopped using the paella pan because it was shallow, difficult to mix in, and made my stove dirty. You can make a good paella just by using a frying pan or a shallow pot. I've been using my beloved "Le Creuset" pan.It looks very nice if you use blue mussels, but I couldn't acquire any this time so I used hamaguri clams instead. You can also use asari clams. I'd like readers to add some kind of clam because it gives off a delicious soup. It's not exciting unless the rice is yellow. If the saffron doesn't give it enough color, add turmeric or a little bit of yellow food coloring. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki cookpad.japan -

Paella Paella
This food is very delicious!!! 👍 I have tried this food for the first time in Spain, because it is one of the famous Spanish dishes, and I think that it is a must for me to try to make it at home, but this is not an authentic Paella recipe, because:1. I didn't cook it in a Paella Pan, but in a non stick skillet, because I don't have Paella Pan.2. I didn't use safron and artichoke, because it's so rare and pricey here.So, This is just my version of it... 😊 Tra Cul -
