Spanish Paella (Rice Dish)

Ingredients

• chicken pieces
• pork pieces
• boiled shrimp
• squid
• clams
• 1 green and red pepper
• chopped onions
• 2 chopped tomatoes
• salt, pepper, saffron
• 1¼ cup about 1 to 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
• peas and artichokes

Method

1. Fry the chicken, pork and squid until partially done. Boil the shrimp and save the stock.
2. Saute in the pan the peppers, onions and add the tomatoes. Then add the saffron, salt and pepper. Add the uncooked (unwashed) rice and brown, and cover the rice with just enough shrimp stock and let simmer. Do not stir.
3. When the rice is almost done, and the stock is about cooked up, add the chicken, pork, shrimp and clams, turn the fire off and cover the pan. Let set. (Add also peas and artichokes.)
