How To Make paella cubana con chorizo, marisco y pollo (cuban paella with sausage, seafood and chicken)
-
1STEP 1-STARTING YOUR PAELLA: You will need a paellera or large covered pot.
-
2Heat the olive oil over medium-high in the paellera. Lightly brown the chicken pieces on both sides, then place the sausage (chorizo) while the chicken is frying. Once the chicken is browned on both sides, remove the chicken and sausage and place them in a large bowl.
-
3Next place the onions, green bell peppers and garlic in the paellera and saute until the onion is translucent.
-
4Add the salt, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and wine to the paellera. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
-
5Add the chicken, sausage, rice, water, bay leafs, peas and saffron to the paellera. Stir in all the ingredients well. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for half an hour. The rice should be tender at this point.
-
6STEP 2-THE FISH PREPARATION: While the rice is cooking, prepare the seafood.
-
7Heat extra olive oil in a large pan, and saute a few extra sausage pieces in the olive oil. Remove the sausage, then saute the shrimp, pieces of lobster, mahi-mahi and scallops for a couple of minutes.
-
8Remove the seafood, and mix into the paellera, stirring all of the seafood into the rice.
-
9Remove paellera from stove, and place in the oven (preheat to 350 degrees). Bake for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
-
10Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve. You may also garnish with sliced red bell peppers, asparagus spears and tomatoes . Enjoy!
