Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large paella pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Rice and Stock

    Stir in the Bomba rice, allowing it to toast for 1-2 minutes. Then, pour in the fish stock, adding the saffron and salt. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Seafood

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Add the seafood mix and diced tomatoes, gently folding them into the rice. Do not stir after this point.

  4. 4

    Cook to Perfection

    Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Allow the paella to cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the seafood is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve and Garnish

    Remove from heat and let the paella sit for 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for garnish.
