Paella Mixta (tourist paella)

Lightly toast 6 threads of saffron in a dry skillet for 10 sec (not shown).  Remove.  Pour 1/4 cup olive oil in pan over hot grill.  Add 1/2 small chicken (or rabbit) and cut up fresh chorizo and smoke chorizo.  Cook 15 min, or until lightly browned.  Remove from pan.


Mise en place

Add 1 diced onion, 1/2 diced red bell pepper, 1/2 diced green bell pepper, 1/4 pound green beans.  Cook 10 minutes.

Add 2 cloves minced garlic.

Have more Spanish rose cooling

Add 2 chopped tomatoes, seeded, 1/2 tsp sweet paprika, and toasted saffron.  Stir well.  Cook 5 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup peas and 8 clams

and 12 medium shrimp.  Cook 5 minutes and remove 1/2 the shrimp and clams.  Add chicken and sausage back into pan.

Add 2 1/2 cups rice, preferably Bomba, we used Arborio.  Stir.

Spread it evenly in pan.

Gently add 4 1/4 cups combination chicken and lobster stock, heated.  Add salt to taste.

Replace removed shrimp and clams. 

Cook 15-20 minutes uncovered.  Then  remove  from heat and cover with a newspaper for 10 minutes.

It was really good.  (Enrique:  we had to try it, but we are looking forward to having it with your family soon!)
