Time 2h50m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 pound chicken wings
1 cup chopped Spanish onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced carrot
2 fresh bay leaves
6 sprigs thyme
12 black peppercorns
3 juniper berries
1 tablespoon saffron threads
2 Spanish onions (1 quartered, 1 thinly sliced)
1 fresh bay leaf
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 1/2 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons smoked Spanish paprika
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large red bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Spanish chorizo, thinly sliced
1/4 cup diced Spanish onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/4 cups Calasparra rice (or other paella rice)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen peas (thawed if frozen)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced piquillo peppers
1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata or black olives
Kosher salt
1/4 cup tomato paste

Steps:

  • Make the stock: Combine the chicken wings, onion, celery, carrot, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and juniper berries in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium low to medium heat; simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes. Add the saffron and simmer 15 more minutes. Strain the stock: Pour the stock through a fine strainer; discard the solids. (If not using immediately, let cool, then cover and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.)
  • Poach the chicken: Bring 8 cups water, the quartered onion, bay leaf and celery to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and gently poach until just tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Shred the meat: Remove the chicken from the pot using tongs and reserve the poaching liquid. Let the chicken cool slightly, then discard the skin and shred the meat. Make the sauce: the tomato paste, ketchup and paprika in a blender. Strain 2 cups of the reserved poaching liquid; add the liquid to the blender and puree until smooth.
  • Finish the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, bell peppers and garlic and cook until translucent, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the pureed sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and stir to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and keep warm.
  • Make the paella: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a paella pan or large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until the fat renders, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the rice and stir to lightly coat with the oil. Stir in the peas, piquillo peppers, olives, 2 cups chicken mixture and 2 1/4 cups saffron chicken stock. Season with salt. Bake and serve: Cover the paella pan or skillet tightly with foil and bake until the liquid is completely absorbed, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest, covered, 5 minutes.

BROWN RICE, CHICKEN, AND CHORIZO PAELLA



Brown Rice, Chicken, and Chorizo Paella image

My husband is a Spaniard, so I started looking into paella. It took me 4 times to get this right. It has become his favorite dish and expects me to make this every week. I have tweaked this recipe to our taste, so the red pepper, capers, and black olives are simply a preference for us. The vinegar is a Spanish thing, so I always add it. You can leave a little broth in the paella, or cook until the broth is fully absorbed. It is simply a preference.
