Pork And Chorizo Paella

This Paella with Pork and chorizo is, without a doubt, the perfect one for meat lovers. Meat paellas can have different types of meat, such as chicken or beef, but I like it best with a chopped pork loin and chorizo.

The best thing about paella is that it admits any ingredient. You can add peas, green beans, other types of meat, whatever you want really.

When it is hot, add the chopped chorizo and fry it until it browns on both sides. Stir as often as necessary to infuse the oil with the flavor of the chorizo.

Then remove the chorizo to a plate (you can put it on top of kitchen paper to drain the excess fat), and add the pork to fry it in the same way. When it is golden brown, remove it from the same dish as the chorizo.

Now, in that meat flavored oil, sauté the chopped capsicum until it begins to soften, then add the garlic and let it sauté as well.

Next, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water and crush them. Add them to the frying pan to cook for 7 or 8 minutes.

When the liquid of the tomatoes begins to thicken, pour the broth and increase the temperature so that it comes to boil.

Then add the saffron, salt, black pepper and add the meat again. Add the paella rice and stir once so that the liquid covers all the rice.

After that time, turn the heat to low and continue cooking for another 10 minutes until the liquid has been completely absorbed.

To finish, turn off the heat and sprinkle the paprika on top. Cover it with a cloth or aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 or 10 minutes. We can decorate the paella with a few slices of lemon.

The flavors in this chicken and chorizo paella are marvelous! Incredibly fragrant, and a bit smokey with a hint of spice from the Spanish chorizo. The rice absorbs all that wonderful flavor from the sofrito, chorizo, and the spices.

Paella is one of the most well-known dishes from Spain, most commonly from the region of Valencia, although there are variations from other regions too. This iconic rice dish is made with a variety of proteins and vegetables, and spices, one of the most popular ones being saffron. It is traditionally cooked in a shallow paella pan over open flame.

, which is that glorious crust of toasted rice that forms in the bottom of the pan. It can be hard to achieve sometimes, but hey, practice makes perfect!

Prawn And Chorizo Paella Recipe

The best rice to make this chicken and chorizo paella (or any other variations) is Arborio or Bomba rice. Other types of rice commonly used in Spain are Calasparra, Senia, and Bahia, but those can be harder to find depending on where you live.

These types of rice do a great job absorbing all the liquid and flavor without getting clumpy, so the grains remain beautifully separated.

If you can’t find it, regular short-grain rice will do. I would NOT recommend using brown rice though since it does not absorb liquid and flavor as well.

Saffron is a fragrant spice from a flower called crocus sativus. They look like threads and are deep orange in color. In cooking, saffron releases flavors that infuse the entire dish with delicate and subtle floral aroma, and also adds a beautiful light golden hue.

The flavors are so subtle you can barely taste it on its own, but without it, you’ll feel like something is missing. It’s the kind of aroma that permeates through the entire dish and elevates it.

Yes, saffron can be expensive but it’s so worth it, in my opinion. It will take your chicken and chorizo paella from amazing to super amazing! A little bit goes a long way. I usually get mine at my local Whole Foods, but you can also find it at Trader Joe’s or online.

Making paella is actually very easy! No need to buy a special paella burner or pan, and no special skills required. I adapted the traditional recipe so you can make it right at home, whether it’s on a gas or electric stove.

In a small bowl, infuse the saffron threads with some chicken broth. This will bring out the floral aroma of the saffron. Set aside.

Paella (beef, Chicken And Chorizo) Recipe

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large 12-inch skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. It doesn’t need to be cooked through at this point.

In the same skillet (do not wipe clean), add a few more drizzles of olive oil and saute the diced onions, bell peppers, garlic, and smoked paprika until softened and fragrant. Then, add the sliced chorizo and cook for another 3 minutes, until the flavors come together.

Once the broth starts to come to a simmer, cover with the lid and let it cook over low heat, undisturbed. Do not stir it, as this would cause the rice to get too sticky, sort of like risotto. Plus, you want the bottom to cook undisturbed so you can get that desired

Chicken & Chorizo Paella

Paella tends to cook better and more consistently over gas flame. Traditionally, it’s cooked over an open fire, uncovered, on a special burner designed just for paellas. As you can imagine, that can be hard to replicate indoors. The biggest problem is that most regular house stoves are not large or strong enough to cook the rice evenly.

With that said, if you’re cooking indoors on a gas or electric stovetop, using a large skillet with a lid would be best. The lid will allow the rice to cook thoroughly. It can be cast iron, stainless steel, or nonstick.

If you’re looking to go the traditional route, get a paella pan burner (this one is a 20-inch, so double the recipe). It’s basically an outdoor gas burner with two burner rings, one that heats the pan around the outer edge and another one that cooks the center. You could also cook it on your grill, but be careful not to burn the handles.
