Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 20 mussels, cleaned and debearded

  • 10 large shrimp

  • 2 large squid, cleaned and sliced into rings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken pieces cut into chunks

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 2 tomatoes, cubed

  • 3 cups long-grain white rice

  • 1 pinch saffron

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 cup green peas

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to the boil: add mussels and cook until they open. Drain, and discard any unopened mussels. Boil shrimp and squid in a separate pot of lightly salted water, until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken pieces; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

  3. Place garlic, bell pepper, and tomato cubes into the skillet; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, bring fish stock and 3 cups salted water to a boil; mix in 3 cups rice, saffron, and paprika. Bring to a boil again, cover, and reduce heat; simmer until rice is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Stir peas into the rice. Pour rice mixture into a large serving dish. Arrange cooked vegetables, chicken, and shellfish around rice. Serve hot.
