@chef.life68: Here’s a vibrant and festive recipe for Party Paella — a classic Spanish rice dish loaded with seafood, chicken, vegetables, and fragrant saffron. Perfect for sharing with friends and family! 🍤 Party Paella Servings: 6-8 Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes Ingredients: 400 g bomba or short-grain rice (like Arborio) 200 g chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces 200 g chorizo, sliced 300 g mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, squid) 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 red bell pepper, diced 2 tomatoes, grated or finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 liter chicken or seafood stock (warm) A pinch of saffron threads, soaked in 2 tbsp warm water 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 100 g frozen peas Olive oil Salt and pepper Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Lemon wedges (to serve) Instructions: Prepare ingredients: Heat olive oil in a large paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken pieces until golden. Remove and set aside. Cook chorizo & vegetables: In the same pan, sauté chorizo slices until slightly crispy. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook until softened. Add tomatoes & spices: Stir in grated tomatoes, smoked paprika, and saffron with its soaking water. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Add rice & stock: Add rice to the pan, stirring to coat grains in the mixture. Pour in warm stock, season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add chicken & seafood: Return chicken to the pan. After 10 minutes, add seafood and peas. Avoid stirring from this point to allow a crust (socarrat) to form on the bottom. Cook until done: Simmer gently until rice is tender and liquid absorbed, about 15 minutes. If needed, add a little more stock or water. Rest: Remove from heat and cover with a clean towel. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve warm. Tips: Use a wide, shallow pan for even cooking. Avoid stirring after adding seafood for the prized crispy bottom. Swap or add your favorite veggies like artichokes or green beans.
