Easy Mixed Paella Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute chicken in oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute onion until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, rice and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until rice is tender., Stir in the shrimp, tomatoes, peas, olives and chicken; cover and cook for 3-4 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, oregano, and salt and pepper. Stir in chicken pieces to coat. Cover, and refrigerate.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes, and rice. Cook, stirring, to coat rice with oil, about 3 minutes. Stir in saffron threads, bay leaf, parsley, chicken stock, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Stir in marinated chicken and onion; cook 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and sausage; cook 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp; cook, turning the shrimp, until both sides are pink.
• Spread rice mixture onto a serving tray. Top with meat and seafood mixture.

Steps:

• Boil 2 cups of water with salt and cook the clams and the mussels until they are open. If any of them are still closed, remove them. Boil in the same water the remaining sea food for a couple of minutes. Drain the liquid and set aside for the fish stock.
• Peel the prawns, king prawns and/or Norway lobster leaving some of them unpeeled for decoration.
• Prepare 1 litre fish stock using the water we set aside before, fish/ chicken powdered stock (or stock cubes) and the prawn skins. Add the yellow food colouring. Drain and set aside.
• Put the frying pan/ paella onto heat with 2-4 tablespoons olive oil. Fry on a heavy fire the sliced chicken until slightly brown but not completely cooked. Set aside.
• Do the same with the squid stripes.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the onion finely chopped. When the chopped onion is transparent, add the red pepper finely chopped and cook until tender.
• Now add the tomatoes finely chopped and cook for 10 minutes approximately until you have a thick tomato sauce, or just add the 100 cl. tomato sauce.
• Peel the garlic and smash it with some parsley until you get a paste.
• Add 1 lt. fish stock, the garlic and parsley paste and the remaining vegetables to the frying pan with the thick sauce and let it simmer. The resulting "soup" must have a salty taste as the rice will absorb much of the salt and flavour. Cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are "al dente".
• Now add the rice to the soup (you can choose to rinse it in order to remove some starch before). Mix all ingredients with a wooden spoon. Put fire higher for 7-10 minutes.
• Add the fish, sea food and chicken and set a low fire for another 5-10 minutes. This part of the cooking is quite important as you may need to add some boiling water when necessary. It is advisable not to stir the ingredients to avoid breaking the rice grains and paella becoming sticky. You are only allowed to shake gently the pan in this part of the process.
• After this time, if rice is not yet cooked and it has little water, cover the paella with aluminium paper and let it cook for 2 minutes more or so. Anyway, it is always preferable a paella with some liquid than overcooked.
• Uncover the paella, decorate with the unpeeled king prawns and/or Norway lobsters and let the rice rest for at least 5 minutes so it absorbs the remaining water.
• Serve hot with a lemon slice per serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees, or as near as you can. Warm the stock in a saucepan with the saffron. Place a 10- or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. One minute later, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice, and cook, stirring occasionally, until glossy -- just a minute or two. Season liberally with salt and pepper, and add the warmed stock, taking care to avoid the rising steam. Stir in the shrimp, and transfer the pan to the oven.
• Bake about 25 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is dry on top. Garnish, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion and soften for 5 mins.
• Add the smoked paprika, thyme and paella rice, stir for 1 min, then splash in the sherry, if using. Once evaporated, stir in the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock.
• Season and cook, uncovered, for about 15 mins, stirring now and again until the rice is almost tender and still surrounded with some liquid.
• Stir in the seafood mix and cover with a lid. Simmer for 5 mins, or until the seafood is cooked through and the rice is tender. Squeeze over the lemon juice, scatter over the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.
