Made paella. it will last us through the weekend
I prepped last night. cooked off sausages, chicken thighs and caramelized onions. I also used 2.5qt of chicken stock (deglazed the plan where I cooked chicken and sausages and then filtered through sieve and paper towels. stock came out as dark brown
below is caramelized onions and sweet smoked paprikam from fridge
below is after added 2 crushed cans of san margazo tomatoes, 1 head of garlic (i cooked garlic off first) and bit of water.. simmered that for about 15 min and then added rice 1KG
below: put my saffron in, laid chicken and sausages ( first mixed riced in with tomatoes/etc) and put in about 2.5qts of chicken stock
below: after about 20-25 min (18" pan) i added musles and shrimp and cooked 3 min per side, then added peas and shutoff heat and covered 90% of the way and let it sit for 15 min
below: rice burned slightly, since hard to manage heat on 18" and stove... when I do it on a grill, it comes out perfectly every time. i use lemon at the table. but generally, salt is hard to get right. you really have to season stock, every part very well. rice takes a lot of salt!
