Health Highlights

Ingredients


1/4 cup Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1/2 tsp Saffron
1 1/4 cup Arborio rice
1 can(s) (14oz) Diced tomatoes, canned
454 gm Shrimp, raw (raw, peeled and deveined)
227 gm Sausage, chorizo, pork and beef (Dry chorizo, cut into semi circles (3 small sausages))
1 medium pepper(s) Red bell pepper (julienne)
3 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp Paprika
4 cup Chicken broth (stock), low sodium
1 leaf Bay leaf
227 gm Green/yellow string beans, raw (cut into 2-3 pieces each bean)
1 medium Lemon (Juice 1/2, cut the rest into wedges for garnish)
1 tsp Kosher salt (to taste)

Instructions


Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add sausage and sauté until golden. It will seem like a lot of oil but it creates an almost cheese like taste when the paella is finished.

Add garlic, rice, saffron, paprika and sauté 30 seconds - constantly stirring.

Add 3 cups broth, diced tomatoes and a bay leaf - give it one stir and then let it boil and simmer for 10 minutes - no longer or your rice will be over done. Do not stir the rice just shake a little with the handle if you think it is sticking.

Stir once and add shrimp, green beans and peppers to the top of paella and simmer another 7 minutes until liquid is evaporated. Cover if liquid evaporates too quickly or add reserved broth.

Remove from heat and cover for 3 minutes. At this point you can transport your meal home. Shrimp should be fully pink before serving.

Squeeze 1/2 lemon over paella, stir, remove bay leaf and taste. Add any seasoning if necessary - I usually add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side.
