Preparation

DIRECTIONS

  1.  Heat a grill pan over high heat. Place chorizo on grill and cook, turning once until outside is charred and inside is heated through (if chorizo is pre-cooked), about 1 minute per side, or cooked through (if chorizo is not pre-cooked), about 4 minutes per side. Slice chorizo crosswise and set aside.


  2.  Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a 13 1/2-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Add both peppers and onion and cook, stirring, until vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup sliced garlic, and cook, stirring, one minute more. Add saffron and rice; stir to coat. Add stock and reduce heat to low; cook until rice is almost done, but still very al dente, about 20 minutes.


  3.  Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari; stir to combine. Add wine, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, thyme, remaining tablespoon chopped garlic, and shallots; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until mussels and clams have opened and shrimp and calamari are cooked through, about 5 minutes.


  4.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add any accumulated liquid from cooking seafood along with peas; stir to combine. Top with seafood, chorizo, and chicken; season with salt and pepper. Transfer paella pan to oven and cook until rice is slightly crunchy, about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
