Some Paella

[cowgirl]

Thanks to Brethren ssv ( Sako ) for the recent paella post. I had to give it a try! :grin:

Gathered some ingredients...

I went with some chorizo, longaniza, chicken, mussels, scallops, seafood blend, shrimp, crab and baby octopus..

made a seafood stock with the shrimp shells, some crab knuckles and a couple pinches of saffron..

Started with some onions and garlic, then marinated chicken...

then the chorizo and longaniza

then some peppers and tomatoes...

wine, salt, pepper then rice...a pinch of saffron and some paprika..

seafood blend...

the stock, then covered with foil for awhile..

added the scallops...

then the shrimp, mussels, crab, octopus...

covered again and let er go til done.

I loved it. I'll be making this again. Thanks again to Sako for the post and inspiration!

That looks absurdly fantastic! :shocked:

The cook is amazing and those pix are just bonkers - that's pro level right there!

I love paella - I'll order it and eat the whole double portion when the wife (allergic)
and kids (not interested - but now they might be) won't join me.

Fabulous work Jeanie! :clap2:

Thanks Greg!! I hope to make this again in the near future. Is it legal to make it without seafood? I don't know much about paella rules. lol Just thinkin' maybe your Mrs could try it without.
Thanks again! :hug:
