Paella

, I added chicken sausages of various flavors it was delicious.

No changes needed… I thought It was yumm!!

This was a hit with my family! I did modify it for our wussy taste buds. I did not use any hot Italian sausage, or bell peppers. I also didn’t have saffron or turmeric. Believe it or not, this recipe was still excellent! I can only imagine with the right spices now yummy it could be! I would mind if like to add green olives…..hmmmmmm.

Great recipe! Paella turned out very well. The taste was awesome. Different textures from the meats added to the meal. Threw in some Squid to liven things up!

A bit salty to my taste. I will definitely make it again,only without salt

I used 7 heirloom tomatoes from my plants and a can of fire roasted tomatoes from Aldi’s. I also pureed the tomato mixture. My son doesn’t like the texture of a chunky sauce. The dish ended up more of a stoup than rice dish. But it still was delicious!

I added scallops because I really like them. It turned out super delicious! And yes, I will make it again. We were staying with friends and I made it for them and they really loved it. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This was delish. I added some imitation crab.

I used brown jasmine rice. That took longer to cook so I needed an additional 5 minutes at the end. My husband missed the clams but we all loved the flavor. I used hot Italian turkey sausage instead of chorizo, less fat and calories but then needed a bit of olive oil in the pan to cook the veggies. I would definitely make it again. Not your typical paella but delicious.

I made this last night for my picky husband and he loved it! The only changes I made were I used peas instead of bell pepper for greens and I used 4 oz of chorizo instead of the Italian sausage and I used saffron rice instead of the saffron. Saved some money by doing this! Just note that this recipe is for 10 servings so cut it down to size for your family.

While I love seafood Paella made with fish stock, I think the sausage, chicken and chicken stock in this recipe makes it so much more flavorful. Ingredient changes I found nice, but which ended up doubling the recipe: – 12 (not 10) total fresh sausage links (half hot, half mild) from Central Market meat counter (must be larger than 4 oz each, because it was a lot of sausage); – Two packages chicken thighs cut in strips (not tenders); – Added 1 pound Bay Scallops (awesome treats in the dish); – Added 3 scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces (sautéd with other veggies); – Instead of just 1 green pepper, I also added 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange pepper (4 total); – Instead of canned, peeled, diced tomatoes, I used 28oz can peeled cherry tomatoes in one dish and 5-6 diced fresh tomatoes (smallish) in the second dish which worked great; – Lots of oregano and extra saffron. Added salt while sautéing veggies. No turmeric.; – Arborio rice, not long grain; I also sautéd the shrimp and bay scallops, very lightly with salt and some oil, then set them to cool and rest before adding them to the dish later. Because this doubled the recipe, at the end of Step 1, I took half the sautéd veggies and moved them to my paella pan to use as my second cooking pot. From there on, I cooked two paellas — one with all the hot sausage links for the adults and one with all the mild sausage links for the kids. I added extra Arborio rice and broth to balance out the mix.

It was.good not really paella though, the effort to make was notworth making for a regular dinner. Next time half the serving.size at least.

The rice took so long to cook. The veggies ended up mushy by the time the rice was done. I will be using cooked rice next time. I added red peppers, mushrooms and a jalepeno to mine. I don’t know if I will try this same recipe again but this was my first time making this sort of dish so I will definatly use some of the elements of this dish to create my own

This recipe is terrific, but after reading all the reviews, I made a few changes and it turned out great. I eliminated the tomatoes completely, as that would make it more of a Jambalaya and left out the celery. I reduced the meats to 2 chourizo (Portuguese) sausages, cut in 1/2 lenthwise, then sliced into 1/3″ half-moons and 2 Andouille sausages, cut into 1/4″ slices. I reduced the shrimp to 1 1/4 lbs. I added 1/4 red bell pepper chopped. I increased the garlic to 4 cloves, minced. Added 1 packet of Goya Sazon (contains cilantro and annato)in Step 2. I increased the chicken broth to 3 3/4 cups to make up for the reduction in liquid resulting for eliminating the tomatoes. Took this to a family event and received rave reviews.

Sausage and shrimp? How can it be anything but wonderful? The 15 minute wait between adding sausage and adding shrimp is not strictly necessary, but allows the sausage flavor to become integrated into the dish.

This dish is requested in my household very often. One change I implemented myself was substituting the mild Italian sausage for chorizo, which gives it an even better flavor combination to the dish. One thing I saw missing in the recipe, that would not be missing at any Spanish restaurant or household is the lemons!! After you serve the food, might want to give people some lemon wedges to squeeze over their dish . I usually squeeze 2 or 3 wedges of lemon to my plate. Other than that this is a great recipe.

Overall this is a good recipe, but it just wasn’t a true Paella. I made this dish per the recipe and found it fairly easy to make. There are quite a few steps, but they’re all easy and everything times together pretty well. The main reason that I didn’t give this recipe 5 stars is because the Italian sausage just doesn’t belong in this dish. Its completely wrong. I highly recommend using Chorizo instead. As for the seasoning, many other reviewers recommend using saffron, which I would try as well. Those changes would be enough to make this a true Paella and a recipe worthy of 5 stars.

Loved this recipe. I reduced the amount of meats and substituted Saffron yellow rice…it was very good.

This was very good. My husband said it was the best thing I had ever made – and I had burnt it too!

This recipe is surprisingly easy and it was delicious!

Yummy! I used lamb sausage and omitted the turmeric, but otherwise followed the recipe. Delicious!
