Title: Maria's Paella
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Rice, Seafood, Herbs
Yield: 6 Servings

1/2 c Olive oil
1 1/4 lb Chicken thighs
1/2 c Onion; diced
2 cl Garlic; chopped
1/2 Bell pepper; diced
1/2 Red bell pepper; diced
1/4 lb Calamari rings
1/4 lb Small (U-60) shrimp; peeled,
- deveined
1 ts Salt
2 ts Saffron threads
14 1/2 oz Can crushed tomatoes
1/2 c Peas
3 c Long grain rice
6 c Water
6 lg Clams in shell; scrubbed
6 Jumbo (U-25) shrimp in
- shells
6 lg Sea scallops
6 Wedges lemon

Heat olive oil in a very large skillet or paella pan
over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Place
chicken thighs skin-side down into oil and sear until
golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes; set aside.

Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until the onion has
softened and turned translucent, about 1 minute. Add
green and red bell peppers, calamari, and small shrimp;
cook for 2 minutes more.

Stir in salt, saffron, tomatoes, peas, rice, and water
until well combined. Add chicken thighs, and simmer for
15 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to
make sure rice does not stick.

Decoratively nestle clams and jumbo shrimp into the
rice. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for
10 minutes. Place the scallops into the paella, recover,
and continue simmering until the rice is tender and the
scallops firm and opaque, about 5 minutes.

Garnish with lemon wedges to serve.
