Anyway, this is based on traditional Spanish recipe, Since my family is not big on sea food I make it as a meat and fish dish, I’m sure you’ll love it.

  • To start, you will need a Paella pan, or just a cast-iron frying pan. Heat the pan with enough oil to cover the bottom. Add 1/2 cup of sliced green pepper, a tblsp of garlic and 4 or 5 4 ounce pieces of chicken thigh and 2 Italian sausage (slice the sausage to half inch pieces). Let that simmer for about 5 minutes. Then add 2 cups of short-grain rice. Immediately after that, add 2 cup of chicken stock or fish stock or vegetable stock. Now add a few pinches of Saffron (this is a very important ingredient, so don’t miss this step). Also, add about a tbsp. of tomato paste on top of the rice. Cover the dish and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • After the rice has expanded enough, add your fish of choice (Tuna or Salomon, cut into large cubes). Now add 1/4 cup of green peas, Let the dish cook for another 20-25 minutes on low / medium heat.
  • During this entire process, if at any time, your dish gets too dry (not enough stock), your ingredients will burn. Add more stock as you progress, keeping everything well moistened.
  • Hope you enjoy it, and if you have any questions, let me know, Thanks www.tixxie.com for the original recipe. I wish my family eat more seat food, because your original dish sound awesome.
