Plantation Style Paella Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large paella pan or a wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and Portuguese sausage, cooking until browned. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pan, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Add the diced tomato, paprika, and saffron to the vegetables. Stir well, then add the short-grain rice, stirring to coat it in the mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Add Proteins

   Once the rice starts to absorb the broth, add the chorizo, Portuguese sausage, shrimp, and clams. Stir gently to combine.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the clams have opened.

6. 6

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
