In a separate bowl mix you tomato paste with the water or chicken stock make sure its dissolved completely season the water with a tablespoon of salt for ever cup of water you use, add the liquid to the rice and throw back in the chicken. Put in your olives and the cilantro in as well. Turn flame low and cook until done...and done... a hearty delicious one pot meal!
PAELLA PANAMANIAN STYLE
Regional style fish meat and rice dish. Unlike it's Spain counter part this recipe is flavored with tomato rather than saffron making it quite different. Any good Mexican pork sausage would do for the Panamanian, and if you can't find a Spanish pork sausage, try an andouille sausage, Italian sausage or chorizo combinations. Anything except American breakfast sausage!
