Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

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

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Saffron

    Stir in the diced tomato and saffron threads. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the long-grain rice to the pan and stir well to coat it with the vegetable mixture. Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    After 15 minutes, add the shrimp, mussels, and clams to the rice. Gently press them into the rice, cover again, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Peas and Serve

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
