  • 1 1/4 cups short grain rice
  • 1/3 cup finely diced tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped parsley

Directions

Clean the clams and soak in cold water for 20 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and season with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice.Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and sauté the chorizo, onions, garlic and paprika until soft, about 3 minutes. Create a well in the center and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, add the rice, stirring to coat with the oil. Sauté 3 minutes.Add the diced tomatoes, broth, salt, saffron threads, and bay leaf. Mix and bring to a boil, stirring once, place the bell pepper over the rice, reduce heat to low and cover tightly, simmer 15 minutes. Uncover, add the clams, shrimp and peas. Cover tightly again and cook on low heat until the clams open up and the shrimp are cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.Uncover the skillet, raise the heat to medium-high and cook to toast the bottom of the rice, you should hear it sizzling, about 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and garnish with parsley.

pairs well with

Chardonnay

Bursting with tropical fruit flavors and a delicate hint of sweet spice, our rich and buttery non-alcoholic Chardonnay is a classic expression of one of California’s most celebrated varietals.

Non-alcoholic wine that tastes so real you still need to be 21 to enter.
