This recipe for chicken, mushroom and garlic paella you will love it. We add some bacon and fresh sausages to make it even tastier and better.
INGREDIENTS: (8-10 rations)
- 250 gr rice /2 cups
- 4 cups chicken broth ( 1.2 l)
- 1 kg of chopped chicken
- 4 fresh butcher's sausages
- 200 gr bacon
- 100 gr of Iberian ham cubes
- A bunch of garlic
- 4 cloves garlic
- 200 gr mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon of saffron
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons tomato sauce
STEP-BY-STEP PREPARATION: (click to see the video recipe)
- The first thing we will do is, in the paella pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and seal the pieces of chicken seasoned with salt and pepper, until they are golden brown. Then remove them to the edges of the paella pan, which is where it heats the least.
- Add the sausages and bacon in small pieces and brown again and remove to the edges to clear the center.
- In the remaining oil (if there is no oil left, add a little more) we add in the center of the oil the garlic chopped garlic cloves and chopped garlic cloves, and poach it for about 8 minutes, with a pinch of salt, so we have to lower the heat so it does not burn.
- .We incorporate the mushrooms and sauté over medium high heat until you see that they are golden brown and have released their water. Add the ham cubes, the saffron and the paprika, toast a little bit being careful not to burn it.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir everything well, including the meat.
- In the meantime, heat the broth in another pot or microwave.
- Add the rice and sauté everything for a minute so that all the flavors are mixed and well integrated. The rice has to ”sing”, make a light sizzling sound.
- Finally, pour the broth (always hot, not cold, as it cuts the cooking time) over the rice evenly.
- Let it cook over medium high heat for about 8 minutes, lower the heat a little and let it cook for another 10 minutes. With a spoon you can taste the broth to check if it is well salted, and if you find it bland, add a little more. If you see that at the end of the time indicated, the rice is still undercooked, add a little more broth.
- The amount of broth can vary. It depends on the type of rice you use, if the fire has been very high and it has been consumed very fast, if you are in the sea or in the mountains... (no kidding, the water boils at different times if you are at a higher altitude or not! )
- Let stand with a paper or cloth for 3/5 minutes and everyone to the table!
