PREP INSTRUCTIONS
A paella is a classic Spanish dish of saffron flavoured rice combined with a variety of meats and shellfish as well as onion, peppers, tomatoes and herbs. It’s named after the special two-handled paella pan in which it is prepared and served.
However, a wide shallow skillet about 33 to 36 cm (13 to 14 inches) will suffice.
- In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups chicken broth to boil over medium high heat. Add saffron threads; simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in rice. Cover, remove from heat and let stand without opening the lid for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet, heat oil over medium high heat, add onion, garlic and red pepper and sauté, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining chicken broth and simmer over medium heat until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add saffron rice to cooking liquid and vegetables; stir in sardines and reserved liquid, shrimp, smoked mussels and tomatoes. Cover and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and thyme.
