  • Pollo (Chicken)
  • La carne de cerdo (Pork)
  • Cebolla (Onion)
  • pimientos naranjas y rojos (Orange & Red Bell peppers)*
  • tomates (Tomatoes - canned work well)

  • camarónes (Shrimp)
  • almejas (Clams)**
  • de caldo de pollo (Chicken stock/broth)

  • condimento Paellero (Paellero seasoning)

  • sal kosher (Kosher salt)
  • Chorizo

+You probably noticed that this recipe doesn't have measurements...you just have to eye-ball-it. Based on how many people you want to serve, adjust your measurements. 
Keep stirring! Chorizo and tom. sauce added
*if you are not a fan of bell peppers, don't worry; they will be cooked so long, you won't even taste them! They are mostly for color :-)

**I thought the shrimp was better than the clams, so unless you have some really tasty clams, just double the shrimp... it'll save you money!



La Direcciónes (directions): 
Start out by heating the Spanish Olive Oil in a large skillet. When hot, add the onion and bell peppers. Add chicken and pork. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chorizo. Add rice. Add chicken broth. Keep adding broth as the rice soaks it up. (You don't want the rice crunchy.) Add parsley and Paellero seasoning. Add peas. Sprinkle with salt. Add seafood.
Stir, constantly. It will cook (from start to finish) for approx. 1 hour.

everything else gets added in
It is very good! I recommend you try and make it at home. It is very easy, and if you make a lot, it would be great as leftovers too... the flavors blend so nicely.
make sure your clams open up... enjoy!
We made this paella with Los Al's Spanish Honor Society...  it was a hit!
