Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
2 cups low-sodium clam juice
Pinch of saffron
1 cup sugar-snap peas, tough strings removed, cut in half on the bias
2 links chicken sausage, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 squid, (about 1 pound), cleaned and cut into 1-inch rings
1 medium onion, peeled and finely diced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch-long matchsticks
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch-long matchsticks
1 pound uncooked paella rice
1 pound cockles and mussels
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place stock, clam juice, and saffron in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Prepare an ice bath. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and blanch sugar snap peas until bright green and just tender, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to ice bath; let cool. Drain, and set aside.
  • Coat a paella pan (or a 6-quart Dutch oven that measures 11 inches in diameter and 5 inches in height) with cooking spray; set over medium-high heat. Add sausage, and cook until well browned, turning, about 5 minutes.
  • Add shrimp, and cook 1 1/2 minutes. Add squid, and cook until opaque, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer seafood and sausage to a plate, and set aside.
  • Add onion, garlic, and bell peppers to paella pan; saute until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add uncooked rice; saute until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add 4 cups reserved stock mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, and cover. Cook until most liquid has been absorbed and the rice is just tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place remaining cup of stock mixture, cockles, and mussels in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Cover, and bring to boil. Cook until all shells have opened, 2 to 3 minutes; discard any that remain closed.
  • Add paprika, black pepper, tomatoes, shrimp, squid, and sausage to rice mixture; combine. Add cockles, mussels, and cooking liquid to mixture, being careful to leave behind any residue in saute pan. Stir in parsley; garnish with peas. Serve immediately.
