tried again
I tried the paella again, only as risotto, rather than paella. In dutch oven on the stove, rather than paella pan in cooker. Finished in the oven. Ok, I admit it. An indoor recipe.
This time I cut the chicken into smaller pieces, as Majestik did. MUCH less rubbery pieces, and the marinade got into it sooner than an hour. Good variation. Also, I didn't have fresh tomatoes, so I used sun dried, chopped small. Also excellent. Added with the onions and garlic in the saute stage. Skipped the bell peppers, but added one shot of chinese hot oil to the marinade. Topped with the chicken and broc. florettes. No shrimp this time. Yup, good choice.
Made it for the snooks, whom I've decided to hang onto for now, instead of waiting for Curly's cousin to get out. Samantha, he's all yours!
