I did find a recipe that used bacon grease to sauté the onions and garlic in instead of olive oil. |

It was great! Rice just a bit to al denta in places. Gave some to a Latino friend of mine this morning to try. He said I nailed it. I'll get the recipe posted up. Last edited by vafatboy; 06-17-2017 at 07:52 PM. |

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil ½ cup finely chopped onion 3 cloves garlic, minced 1½ cup Spanish bomba rice (a special strain of short-grain rice grown in Spain that absorbs 30% more liquid than other rice yet remains nice and firm) (if you can't find bomba, use the next best thing, arborio rice). I used the rice in the photo. Since I didn't have the Aneto base I bought rice already seasoned with saffron. ¼ cup white wine. I didn't have any white wine. Didn't try any substitute. ¾ cup fresh or frozen peas 1 carton (34 ounce) Aneto Seafood Paella Cooking Base. I couldn't find this so I used 26 oz of chicken broth and 8 oz of clam juice. ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika ¾ teaspoon salt 10 large shrimp 10 mussels, scrubbed 10 littleneck clams, scrubbed ⅓ cup grilled piquillo peppers cut into thin strips. Didn't use Chopped parsley and lemon wedges for serving Instructions Heat the oil in a pan (I'm using a 38 cm paella pan) and cook the onions until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the rice and stir it around until the rice grains are covered in oil. (This accomplishes three things: 1) It helps prevent the rice from releasing too much starch while cooking, 2) it helps prevent the rice from sticking together, and 3) it helps improve the texture of the rice by preventing it from becoming mushy.) Add the white wine and bring it to a boil for one minute. Add the peas and smoked paprika and stir to combine. Spread the rice mixture out on the bottom of the pan so that it's evenly distributed. Pour in the Aneto Seafood Paella Cooking Base. Simmer the paella over medium-low heat until half of the liquid is absorbed. Position the seafood the way you want it to appear in the final dish. Add the piquillo peppers. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat for about another 20 minutes until the seafood is cooked through. Turn the pan every few minutes to position the different section over the flame to create that crispy bottom crust, the socarrat. I did not use this technique. Instead I cooked the rice until done specifically avoiding burning or crusting the bottom. Remove from the heat and tent the pan with some aluminum foil for about 10 minutes. Remove the foil and serve immediately garnished with some fresh parsley and lemon wedges. What I learned the first time around was to concentrate on getting the rice right and the seafood will take care of itself. |

Sounds delicious. I'll have to try this. Tonight I'm broiling sea bass. And made some Brussel spouts. With bacon!
