Mixed Paella Recipe

27/06/2019 Magdalena

An amazing mixed paella recipe with chicken thighs, chorizo, prawns & clams. Great to prepare for a family gathering or an informal lunch. Like with other paella recipes, if you don’t have a particular ingredient you can easily swap it around for something you have in your kitchen cupboard or fridge.

Mixed Paella Recipe

An amazing mixed paella recipe with chicken thighs, chorizo, prawns & clams.
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time45 mins
Total Time1 hr
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: Spanish
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 30 threads saffron chrushed
  • 4 thights chicken free range
  • 10 large shrimps peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 chorizo
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tomatoes minced or grated
  • 1 onion minced
  • 7 cups chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups short-grain rice
  • 1 red pepper
  • 12 clams

Instructions

  • Put saffron and 1⁄4 cup hot water in a small bowl; let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Season chicken and shrimp with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a 16″–18″ paella pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, shrimp, and chorizo and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer shrimp to a plate, leaving the meats in pan.
  • Add paprika, garlic, tomatoes, and onions to pan and cook, stirring often, until onions soften, about 6 minutes.
  • Add reserved saffron mixture and broth, season with salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Sprinkle in rice, distribute evenly with a spoon, and add peppers. Cook, without stirring, until rice has absorbed most of the liquid, 12-15 minutes. (If your pan is larger than the burner, rotate it every two minutes so different parts are over the heat and the rice cooks evenly.)
  • Reduce heat to low, add reserved shrimp, and nestle in clams hinge side down; cook, without stirring, until clams have opened and rice has absorbed the liquid and is al dente, 5–10 minutes more.
  • Turn heat to high for 1-2 minutes to create the socarrat (the rice that gets crunchy and forms a crust at the bottom of the pan).
  • Remove pan from heat, cover with aluminum foil, and let sit for 5 minutes before enjoying.
