Birthday Paella

cmac610

My sister in law LOVES paella and yesterday was her 60th birthday. So I grabbed a bag of Bomba rice and got to work! Not 100% traditional Spanish Paella, but close. Used chicken thighs, sausage, shrimp, clams and mussels as the proteins. Cooked it direct at between 400° and 500°. Such an easy dish to make, but looks super impressive!

- Nice jesture and cook for your sister in law.

Impressive cook right there.  As above, great gesture. 

Over the years I have concluded that a paella cook parallels a pizza cook in the following: use the bomba rice and then have at it; pizza-use the right dough and have at it.  Really opens up the ingredients options.  FWIW-

Great looking cook.  I just bought the better half a pan a few months back, but haven’t tried it yet.

Great Bday cook. I love cooking paella on the egg. It looks like I have the same pan with the red handles...I put foil around the handles for protection from the heat.
