ARTICHOKE AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE CAULIFLOWER "PAELLA"
I just love a great one-pot dish that makes everyone go wow. I prepare, cook, and serve right out of my beautiful braising pan. You can also use your paella pan. Thank you to D&D Market (the new Wethersfield, CT store) for the fresh ingredients to make this great recipe. Using cauliflower as your rice makes this dish a perfect paleo side dish or main course! This is also a stove-to-table dish without any mess in 30 minutes!

Steps:
- Put the saffron threads and water in a small bowl and let infuse for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet and cook the onion and zucchini over medium heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, cayenne pepper, and saffron and it's soaking liquid and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the tomato wedges, chickpeas, and artichokes and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, or until the rice is glossy and coated. Pour in most of the hot stock and bring to a boil, then let simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Do not stir during cooking, but shake the pan once or twice. Add the green beans and season. Shake the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice grains are cooked. If the liquid is absorbed too quickly, pour in a little more hot stock, then shake the pan to spread the liquid through the paella.
- When all the liquid has been absorbed and you detect a faint toasty aroma coming form the rice, remove from the heat immediately to prevent burning. Cover the pan with a clean dish towel or foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve direct from the pan with the lemon wedges to squeeze over the rice.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your paella. Look for bomba or Valencia rice, which are traditional Spanish varieties that are perfect for paella. Use fresh seafood and vegetables, and a good quality saffron.
- Cook the rice properly: The key to perfect paella is cooking the rice evenly and correctly. Be sure to use the right amount of liquid and cook the rice over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When adding the rice and other ingredients to the pan, be sure not to overcrowd it. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the saffron at the end: Saffron is a delicate spice that can easily be overpowered by other flavors. Add it to the paella at the very end of cooking to preserve its flavor.
- Let the paella rest before serving: Once the paella is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the remaining liquid.
