Ingredients:

  • ½ teaspoon seasoning Dani with saffron
  • 3 ¼ cups of meat Paella Broth Gallina Blanca
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked Bomba Rice La Fallera
  • 6 ounces Redondo Iglesias Chorizo Bellota Sarta cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • 1 tablespoon Las Valdesas extra virgin olive oil arbequina
  • 1 cup  IBSA Organic Green Peas
    • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
    • ¾ cup chopped yellow onion
    • 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
    • 4 small garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
    • ½ teaspoon of "La Vera" smoked sweet paprika
    • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    • Lemon wedges

    Instructions:

    1. Stir together the seasoning Daniwith saffron and 1/4 cup of the meat broth in a small bowl.
    2. Heat oil in a Paella pan (30cm) over medium-high. Add Redondo IglesiasChorizo Bellota Sarta; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to a plate lined with paper towels; reserve drippings in skillet. Add chicken, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the salt to pan; cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not fully cooked, about 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate with chorizo. Do not wipe paella pan clean.
    3. Add onion and bell pepper to skillet; cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and smoked sweet paprika; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and rice; cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is almost fully absorbed, about 2 minutes. Carefully stir in Dani saffron mixture and remaining 3 cups broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer over medium-high.

    4. Return Redondo Iglesias chorizo sarta and chicken to paella pan, stirring lightly to partially cover with rice; sprinkle mixture with IBSA peas (do not stir peas in). Cook, uncovered and undisturbed, over medium-low, rotating skillet occasionally to evenly distribute heat, until chicken and rice are tender and liquid is almost fully absorbed, about 20 minutes.
    5. Remove from heat; cover and let stand at room temperature until liquid is fully absorbed (5 minutes approx.)
    6. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
